Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot tells the inspiring tale of an East Texas church that goes above and beyond in its efforts to right some glaring wrongs in the foster care crisis.
Produced by Angel Studios (Cabrini, Sound of Freedom), the film stars Nika King (“Euphoria”) and Demetrius Grosse (“Swagger”) as Donna and Reverend Martin, a couple running a small rural church undertake the mission of adopting 77 children from foster care who have been deemed unadoptable. With the community’s support and love and patience in abundance, things come together and work out for the betterment of all involved.
“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,” says Angel Studios exec Jared Geesey. “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.”
In addition to starring in the film, King also serves as executive producer alongside Joe Knittig and Black Panther star Letitia Wright. Atlanta based Peacetree Productions also co-produced the project with Rebekah Weigel and Joshua Weigel who pulls quadruple duty as writer, director, producer, and taking on the role of Pastor Mark.
The heartwarming film also features a talented ensemble cast that includes A.J. Pulliam, Carlos Aviles, Demian Castro, Diaana Babnicova Elizabeth Mitchell, Jillian Reeves, Ian Lyons, Nikkita Johnson, and Sarah Hudson among others.
Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot will be in theaters on July 4.

I am waiting to see this movie. I feel the same way this church believes. I started fos I fostering at 66. Close to 58 young girls within my 10 years as foster mother.
I have one biological daughter, one adoptive daughter who I adopted as a new born and one of the 57 children from the system.
How can people neglect these children and say they Love God. I just turned 78 and I loved it. Outdoor sports, vacation times, plays, and God provided. Is there Money, none to speak of or worth mentioning, God provided. What they paid evaporated with their needs. God restored daily, trips, money, even trips to other states. He will !
