Experiencing Interruptions?

Twice Born

This dramatic story of struggle and triumph follows a misguided 18 year old young woman, who after her adoptive parents die in a tragic accident, becomes entangled in alcohol, drugs and sex. After receiving devastating news of an unexpected pregnancy, she finds herself alone and desperate for help. She must make a choice. Will she abort the child or will she face the heart-wrenching experience of giving her baby up for adoption? The decision she confronts challenges her will and faith, but once her choice is made, she begins the process of reclaiming her life, health and happiness. Inspired by the real American epidemic of substance abuse, sex-focused lifestyle, teenage pregnancy and the painful fallout, this short film will leave you hopeful and motivated by the transforming power of forgiveness and love.
