Deitrick Haddon stars in Sins of The Father July 7 at 8pm/7pm CT on TV One. The chart topping gospel star shines as Pastor Clarence Barnett in this made for TV murder movie. Sins of The Father also stars A.J. Johnson (Baby Boy), Clifton Powell (Ray), Terayle Hill (Merry Wishmas), Angela Davis (I Feel Pretty) and Danny Pardo (SEAL Team).
Sins of The Father was inspired by TV One’s true crime programming, but this one has thrown the church and the pastor in the mix.
Haddon (The Gospel) grew up in Detroit in the church and is a pastor’s kid. He said, “In a culture where #ChurchHurt has been the trending topic, this film will give the viewer insight on how wolves in sheep’s clothing operate,” said gospel artist and film star Haddon. “Buckle your seatbelt because it’s about to get real!”
Sins of the Father follows Detectives Phylicia Richardson (Johnson) and Perez (Pardo) as they investigate the vicious murder of first lady Karen Burnett (Davis), the beloved wife of Pastor Clarence Burnett (Haddon). The crime sends shock waves through the couple’s close knit Atlanta community and the police are forced to take a deeper look into the Burnett’s inner circle, including Pastor Burnett’s son Robert Banks (Hill). As the interrogation unfolds, family secrets of abuse, infidelity, lust and cruelty are revealed within the Burnett household. The detectives soon discover that the ungodly actions of one person can have a deadly impact on many.
Sins of The Father will kick off TV One’s month long theme of films about LOVE, LIES & MURDER. These movies are not about the happy, singing in the rain, feel good forever and a day love. No sir, these films focus on the dark side of love, the things you hope you won’t have to experience, like cheating, deceitfulness, betrayal and jealousy.
Executive produced by Eric Tomosunas, written by Katrina O’Gilvie and directed by Jamal Hill, Sins of The Father was produced by Swirl Productions and comes to us viewers as is part of their partnership with TV One.
If you love true crime murder mysteries and you would like to see what church folks do outside of the four walls of the church when they think no one is watching, tune in because you are going to love this movie in all of its twisted-ness.
Don’t miss the premiere of Sins of The Father Sunday, July 7 at 8p.m. ET /7 p.m. CT on TV One.
