Plot[edit]

Inspired by a true story, the film follows Donna and Reverend Martin of Possum Trot, Texas as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in foster care that no one else would take in. By doing the impossible – adopting 77 children – this East Texas community proved that with determined love, the battle for America's most vulnerable can be won.

Production[edit]

Filming took place in Macon, Georgia in the fall of 2022, with a budget of $8.5 million.[5] In February 2024, it was announced that Angel Studios acquired North American distribution rights to the film.[6]

Letitia Wright would later write that she had no control over the Daily Wire’s involvement in distributing the film, stating “To be clear, after we completed the production of this film, Angel Studios were brought on board to handle its distribution and they later partnered with The Daily Wire. That was not my decision, and I was not given an update or made aware of this decision. I am in no way aligned or affiliated with The Daily Wire. I am thankful for all who want to positively champion this film and campaign to serve children. However, I do not condone using this beautiful film for divisive political purposes. That is not why I joined the project.” [7]
