Duck Dynasty and Dancing with the Stars Sadie Robertson has turned down the lead role as Rachel Joy Scott, the 1999 Columbine shooting victim. Robertson has taken a lesser role as Scott’s cousin in the film, as she felt she was ready to play a major character.The forthcoming faith based film I’m Not Ashamed will be released on April 20,2016. Robertson will also star in the second installment of God’s Not Dead 2:He’s Surely Alive, which is also slated to be released in April 2016.

The film will chronicle the short lived life of Rachel Joy Scott, who was the very first victim in the Columbine shooting. The focus will be on Rachel’s faith and life leading up to her death as chronicled by her in her diaries. Rachel’s story was thrust into the light after her death by her friend, who too was shot and laid injured next to her. The teen details the final moments when she was asked about her faith in God. According to the reports, Rachel was asked if she believed in God before the shooters shot her point-blank in the head.

The movie is scheduled to be released in April 2016 with producer Chuck Howard noting the date was chosen as it is the 17th anniversary of the shooting and Rachel was 17 when she was shot and killed along with 11 of her classmates and a teacher.
