We Are Stronger

Master Sergeant Victor Raphael is nearing the end of his military career when an explosion in Afghanistan leaves him injured. Back home, he is thrust into battle once again, but he hasn't been trained for this type of warfare. With his career behind him and painful physical therapy ahead, he finds himself without a purpose and in a war with his own mind. Having spent years with an ocean between them, his wife, Michelle, is distant and their marriage seems to be held together only by her sense of duty. From leading troops into battle to being unable to leave the house, Vic finds himself isolated in more ways than he ever thought possible, until the unexpected happens. Through the help of two kids and some unlikely heroes, Vic must face the trauma and the wounds on his soul to save his marriage and to help his fellow brother in need. To succeed he must discover the true source of strength and realize he can't do it alone if he is going to win this war and emerge STRONGER.

Biography

The majority of Don’s acting experience has been on stage (Streetcar Named Desire, Richard the Third, Sleuth). His first film was RLM’s production, First Love, where he played Anthony Vero. Born and raised in New York, Don has lived in many parts of the country and is very pleased that the path God laid out for him brought him to Texas and Reflective Life Ministries. He works in the transportation/logistics industry and is currently employed by ABF Logistics. “I have been married to Rhonda for 33 years, and she has been an awesome wife and mom. We have three grown kids, two girls and a boy. The youngest, the boy, is now in the United States Navy. I love acting, but my first passion is teaching God’s Word. I firmly believe that Stronger is all about God’s Word, and it's healing power... Making it especially meaningful to me. My character, Tommy Ortel, is one who is still in the healing process. I'm absolutely thrilled to be working with many of the same friends I worked with in First Love. I just wish ‘Aunt Rosa’ was still with us!”
