Angel Studios's Sound of Hope, inspired by true adoption story, releases July 4

Sound of Freedom distributor Angel Studios is releasing its newest film, based on the true story of 22 church families adopting over 70 children in the 1990s, next month.

Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, scheduled to release July 4, is inspired by the events of Bennett Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in east Texas, which works to provide children in crisis with proper homes. The families of the rural black church, led by Bishop W.C. Martin and his wife Donna, work with an agency to adopt 77 children, including 76 between 1996 and 1998.
