The new faith-based film October Baby, directed by Andrew and Jon Erwin, is about life, redemption, forgiveness and love. The movie is about a woman who survived abortion and was adopted. She tries to find her purpose and discover what happened to her family. The movie is based on a true story.
You saw me before I was born (Psalm 139:16).
The synopsis of the film:
As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah—unscripted—collapses in front of the stunned audience.
After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah’s difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: She was actually adopted…after a failed abortion attempt.
Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her oldest friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past…and find hope for her unknown future.
In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah finds that life can be so much more than what you have planned (www.octoberbabymovie.net).
