The Sound of Hope tells the true story of 22 families from Possum Trot, Texas who fostered and adopted 77 of the most difficult children in the child welfare system. The story has been featured in several venues, including Oprah, and Good Morning America. On the surface, it sounds like a great concept for film, but how does one write a compelling two-hour script that captures the heart of the issue without being overly sentimental, pedantic, or contrived?
Thankfully, Angel Studios has done what might have seemed impossible. The script is compelling, the acting is realistic, and the best part is that, even though it is rooted in a Christian narrative, it does not shy away from the difficulties of the task. It absolutely shows flawed people living out their faith. This storytelling is not just a true story but storytelling that is true. Definitely worth your time and ticket!
