ACTOR RICKY SCHRODER TAKES ON HOLLYWOOD WITH ‘PATRIOT PBS’ BY MOVIEGUIDE® CONTRIBUTOR Golden Globe Award winner Ricky Schroder recently launched the Reel American Heroes Foundation (RAHF), which provides Americans with content that aligns with their conservative values.
His aims to create a “Patriot PBS” to counter modern narratives.
“Here’s the plan. We’re going to build a sort of ‘Patriot PBS,’ an army of storytellers to counteract much of the negative program coming from Hollywood these days. Our money, our stories, our legacies,” THE CHAMP star said.
PR Newswire pointed out that Schroder, a lifelong actor who grew up under the influence of Hollywood, knows its negative effects very well.
“Folks, never has the need been greater for a constructive vision for our collective futures,” Schroder continued. “Storytelling is at the root of our shared history. I know together we can build a foundation that will inspire the world through storytelling.”
One of RAHF’s goals is to remind America of its core values.
“We’re a nonprofit whose mission is to tell stories, stories that entertain us, inspire us and educate us about why America is a uniquely great nation. So why is she great? Well, it’s because of the people, real American heroes, past, present and future who embody the values and the principles which build this great nation,” the 53-year-old said.
“RAHF has also established the Council on Pornography Reform (CPR), which is dedicated to creating a safer and more responsible digital environment, particularly for younger audiences,” the Christian Post reported. “The council aims to balance ‘freedom of choice and the protection of vulnerable populations, fostering a more informed and responsible digital society.’”
RAHF and CPR produce documentaries that shed light on the harmful effects of pornography. They also advocate for children’s protection and request lawmakers to raise the age limit to view pornography.
Schroder previously attended the 24th Annual Movieguide® Faith & Values Awards Gala, where Dolly Parton praised his performance in DOLLY PARTON’S COAT OF MANY COLORS:
“I am so honored and so proud of COAT OF MANY COLORS,” Dolly [said]. “I’ve written thousands of songs in my life and that one happens to be my very favorite because it’s more than a song. It’s about an attitude. It’s about love and, as Lily said, it’s about forgiveness and all sorts of things, but it’s about my mom and my dad…”
Sam and Dolly… thanked Bob Greenblatt at NBC, Peter Roth at Warner Bros, Director Stephen Herek, Producer Hudson Hickman, Screenwriter Pam Long, beautiful words of Pam Long and the cast, including Jennifer Nettles, Ricky Schroder, Gerald McRaney, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Carson Meyer, Mary Lane Haskell, and Stella Parton, Dolly’s sister, who played Mrs. Bass.
In the movie, Schroder played the role of Lee Parton, Dolly’s father.
He told the Christian Post previously, “I was very flattered when she (Dolly) said I had qualities that her father had, because she loved her father very much.”
Wow, great to hear that Ricky is a Conservative and NOT a Hollywood Democrat loser.
