January 12, 2016 (New York, NY) – Film Movement, the distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films, announced today that SECOND COMING, the feature film debut of British playwright Debra Tucker Green starring Idris Elba and Nadine Marshall as a modern-day London couple who find themselves in the middle of a miracle, will be available on DVD, VOD and digital purchase and rental on February 9th.  The award-winning film was an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the London and Stockholm Film Festivals.  It had its U.S. premiere this past October at the prestigious Mill Valley Film Festival.

Written and directed by Tucker Green, SECOND COMING follows Jackie and Mark (Marshall and Elba), a middle-class couple who, along with their 11-year old son Jerome (Kai Francis Lewis), must grapple with a unique situation. Jackie has just learned that she is pregnant, but she hasn’t been with anyone for a long time, including her husband. She confides in her co-workers, but takes a while before she tells Mark, a railway worker. When she finally breaks the news, Mark, a decent but controlling man, does not take it well, and the family must find a way to recover from the aftermath.

The DVD of SECOND COMING includes a Director’s Statement as well as a bonus short film, WAIT ‘TIL THE WOLVES MAKE NICE, and is available to own from FilmMovement.com, Amazon.com and other retailers.
