Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot

This is a wonderful movie. It is definitely for teenagers and older due to the nature of this movie with some intense scenes. Although none of the seems are graphic, they are still impactful. Tissues may be in order! I am a mental health professional, so none of this was surprising to me but will likely be eye-opening for most people. There is sadness, laughter, fear, joy, hope, and faith throughout this movie. This is an important movie to give the average person a glimpse of an often overlooked problem, while focusing on the power of God. With faith and community, this beautiful movie will make you be thankful for all you have and motivated to help those less fortunate. I highly recommend this movie.

This is not a feel-good movie of the week. This movie has intense scenes of child abuse and neglect. It also shows realistic trauma for foster and adopted kids.

I went to see this in the theater with my wife and three children (ages 10, 11, and 11). I assumed it got the PG-13 rating for a few minor swears. My kids have seen pg-13 movies before, and with discernment, I've felt fine about it. I did not feel fine watching this with them; I was a little horrified about how serious some of the scenes were. This needs more of a PG-15 rating. This is for mature young adults-not kids.

This movie handles the issues delicately and not graphically, but it looks at the trauma full in the face. It doesn't sensationalize the abuse, but it doesn't shy away from it either.

I probably would have enjoyed it more without my kids, but for their sakes I was ready to walk out a number of times.

Otherwise, the story was good, acting good. It was a fine production.

Parents be ware though. This is not a movie for your whole family.

A very emotional rollercoaster. Inspiring and hopeful for those who choose to make a difference in foster care. Enjoyed the movie based on a true story.

I was very impressed with the actors and storyline. They stayed true to the story and did not pull any punches. Gut wrenching scenes and disturbing interaction with situations that arise from children in our foster care system.

What a selfless act by families you strive and bring home children and seek to provide them love, hope, and support. It is great to see some of those in our country who chooses to love beyond words but choose to love in action.

I was moved to tears throughout the entire movie. It spoke a really deep truth and did not gloss over how difficult it is to foster kids. I took my 13 and 18 year old to see this and they were incredibly moved. They have cousins who came out of the foster system, but still do not understand the gravity of what some of these kids go through. It prompted a great discussion. I was glad I did not bring my 9 and 10 year olds. Difficult truths.

The acting and directing were fantastic. It was a moving story that did not shy away from the hard parts. I loved a look into a black southern Baptist church and the way they worship and support one another in Christ.

At this time in our world, this story of hearts and lives opening to receive foster children is so welcome. You might shake your head in disbelief that this kind of goodness really is present, but I was thrilled to have this movie shine a light on what genuine people will do for our children. The film was powerful and tender, real and heart felt.

The actors were excellent and well chosen. I am grateful for all the hard work it must have taken to film this, with the children involved especially.

I loved that the people in the film of Possom Trot where shown at the end so we could see what thee children are thankfully up to now. VEry beautiful.
