One Texas Church Tackles The Foster Care Crisis in ‘Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot’ [TRAILER]

From Angel Studios, the studio that brought you Sound of Freedom and Cabrini comes Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, an inspiring true story of an East Texas church committed to addressing the foster care crisis. Scheduled for release on July 4, 2024, this film promises to shed light on the power of community and the impact of determined love.

Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they lead their rural church in an extraordinary mission: to embrace and adopt 77 children from the foster system, many of whom were considered unadoptable. This East Texas community’s journey proves that with genuine love and dedication, even the most daunting battles can be won. The film aims to raise awareness about the foster care crisis and inspire viewers to make a positive impact in their own communities.

Written and directed by Joshua Weigel, Elizabeth Mitchell and Diaana Babnicova round out the cast. Watch the trailer below.

Executive produced by Letitia Wright (Black Panther) alongside Nika King and Joe Knittig, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot is not only a powerful true story but also a call to action. It encourages viewers to get involved and make a positive impact in the lives of children in their communities. Joshua Weigel, Rebekah Weigel, Peacetree Productions produce the feature.

The film will release exclusively in theaters on July 4, 2024. Jared Geesey, Chief Distribution Officer of Angel Studios, emphasized the film’s significance: “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot is a rare film that merges an incredible true story with the power to transform a critical issue facing our communities. Last July 4, Sound of Freedom brought issues of trafficking to the attention of millions, and we know that a staggering percentage of children from foster care become targets for trafficking. We hope to continue to build on that awareness and shine light on the next step this Independence Day.”
