The highly anticipated movie “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot” hits theaters today, a release that comes from a partnership between Angel Studios and DailyWire+.
The film is based on the inspiring true story of Donna and Reverend Martin, who, along with 22 families from their rural black church in the small East Texas town of Possum Trot, adopt 77 of the most difficult to place kids in the foster system. “Sound of Hope” sits at an impressive 86% critic score on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sound_of_hope_the_story_of_possum_trot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rotten Tomatoes</a> as of Thursday morning.

“We are thrilled to partner with Angel Studios, a company that not only shares our commitment to creating impactful and meaningful entertainment but also excels in doing so,” Jeremy Boreing, co-founder and co-CEO of The Daily Wire, said when announcing the partnership. “Speaking as the father of an adopted daughter myself, ‘Sound of Hope’ is truly inspirational. We know it will resonate deeply with our audience – and far beyond – and has the power to make a true cultural impact for kids and families in crisis. We want millions to see this film.”
In the movie, the Possum Trot community proves that with real, determined love, the battle of America’s most vulnerable can be won. The film has been screened to hundreds of non-profit organizations focused on foster care and adoption, and critics, families, and those formerly in the foster care system are praising the film for its honest portrayal of the story.
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1997-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interviewed</a> &#8220;Sound of Hope&#8221; director Josh Weigel on &#8220;The Ben Shapiro Show&#8221; on Wednesday and asked him what he views as &#8220;the biggest issues that Americans need to know about and that you tried to get across in the film&#8221; regarding the foster crisis.
&#8220;One of the things is just that it&#8217;s there,&#8221; Weigel said. &#8220;We all know that the foster system is there, and we&#8217;re so used to just giving over that work to the government and other people that we don&#8217;t personalize it. And what&#8217;s so shocking is that children are suffering every day in this system, floating around, being sent from house to house.&#8221;
Bishop W.C. Martin, who inspired his Texas congregation to adopt dozens of foster children, also sat down with Shapiro for a “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/it-wasnt-easy-at-all-sound-of-hope-bishop-tells-ben-shapiro-about-welcoming-foster-children-into-his-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunday Special</a>” episode that was released earlier this week. Martin told Shapiro that his and his wife’s decision to foster children “was difficult, very difficult.”
“I had to almost be a policeman in my own household,” he said.
“But you know sometimes I think we’ve got to look beyond ourselves, look beyond where we are and to reach out into this world,” Martin added. “More or less like what Jesus did for us, the suffering that he went through for us that we may have a better life and a greater life.”
“Sound of Hope” is playing in theaters across the country beginning on Thursday, July 4.
