lisa-88967's rating
I first learned of the Possum Trot story around 2017 when I heard Bishop Martin speak at a prayer breakfast. I immediately bought his book and read it in almost one sitting. I began following Bishop on social media and knew that he was the "real deal". When my husband and I held a fundraiser to aid in families adopting children, I knew I wanted to invite Bishop and Donna. They graciously drove over to Dallas and I felt like I had made a new friend.
All that to say, sometimes movies are hyped. They're puffed up to make them more entertaining or interesting. Sound of Hope is not that. You will not find a more genuine family than the Martins. And the depiction of their hearts for their community is authentic. The film does not hold back from the heart breaking situations and even shows Bishop and Donna's own weaknesses, frailties and faults with honesty and grace.
This movie is not for the faint of heart. As parents, we sometimes see a PG13 rating and "fudge" a little to allow the 9,10,11 year old to watch. In my opinion, this is not that kind of movie. It deals with very real and traumatic human emotions and actions that most children cannot comprehend. Thirteen is the very minimum age so use discernment. (Again, just my opinion as a parent of now adult children and 6 grandchildren) Bottom line:GO SEE THIS MOVIE! 💯
