The film is an important milestone in the fight to dramatically change the experiences and outcomes for kids in foster care.

Inspired by the powerful true story the film follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in foster who nobody else would take. By doing the impossible–adopting 77 children–this East Texas community proved that with real, determined love, the battle for America’s most vulnerable can be won.

When you purchase tickets through America’s Kids Belong a portion of the proceeds will benefit our work on behalf of kids in foster care.

Being in foster care is an upstream contributor to many social wounds that diminish the flourishing of our youth and our communities as a whole.
