The True Story of ‘Breakthrough’

"Breakthrough" tells the true story of one of the most miraculous recoveries ever. John Smith was just 14 years old when he fell through an icy Missouri lake in 2015. After being rescued from the frigid waters, John was rushed to a local hospital, where, with no pulse for nearly 45 minutes, he was declared dead. But then something remarkable happened: He woke up. The incredible tale is being retold, Hollywood-style, in "Breakthrough," starring Chrissy Metz and Josh Lucas. #InsideEdition

You mean thank the cold water, and the fact he was young that saved his life. Multiple cases of similar drownings has happend in the past from what i have read all of them had the same conditions all of them who survived were young, and in cold water. But not all of them believed in God. Humm that makes me think

[@vc2702]

I don't understand why this is a big deal. People have survived drownings like this before. Another true story an Italian boy (14 year old) survived after 42 min. underwater. Youth and cold water seem to be the tie of higher survivability in drownings. Is it because God was attached to the movie that made it a story worth telling? There was a baby who drowned in cold water and was under for 2 hours yet no movie i wonder why that is?. I think using God as a selling point is the reason why this movie was made.
