After appearing in front of the camera as Marvel’s new Black Panther, Letitia Wright is working behind the scenes as an executive producer on Angel Studios’ new film “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.”
Based on a true story, the film depicts a reverend and his wife who led their community to adopt 77 foster kids from 1998 through 2000. The movie hopes to put a spotlight on the foster system in America and help children who are being “exploited and abused.”
“There are more than 100,000 kids languishing in the foster system in America that need a family, and their deep cry for healing will be heard through this film,” writer/producer Rebekah Weigel said in a statement. “It’s time to follow this community’s lead, across this nation and around the world. We are so excited to partner with Angel Studios to ignite the movement to end the foster crisis.”
