From acclaimed directors Jon and Andrew Erwin, OCTOBER BABY is distributed by Provident Films—known for its association with the movies COURAGEOUS and FIREPROOF—and Samuel Goldwyn Films—distributor of such hit faith films as FIREPROOF, AMAZING GRACE and FACING THE GIANTS.

 

OCTOBER BABY is the story of 19-year-old Hannah, who finds out she is adopted and is the survivor of an attempted abortion,” said co-director and co-writer Jon Erwin. “So, she goes on a road trip to find answers, locate her birth mother and, ultimately, discover how powerful forgiveness can be.”

OCTOBER BABY tackles a challenging subject with gentleness and power,” said (NAME NAME, TITLE). “The film not only brings a vital, thought-provoking message, it entertains as well. We’re proud to be among those supporting OCTOBER BABY in (CITY).”

 

A production of the Erwin Brothers and American Family Studios, OCTOBER BABY offers viewers an enjoyable, entertaining, intensely human film about friends hitting the road together and finding more than they bargained for: adventure, romance, truth . . . and the power to forgive. But, the film is more than that—it tells the story of one young woman’s journey based on hundreds of stories of abortion survivors. OCTOBER BABY honestly and evenhandedly invites audiences to explore their own views of life’s value and the importance of their choices.
