‘October Baby’ In Theaters Today
October Baby is out in theaters today! Watch this clip from the movie and find out more about it below.
Synopsis:
As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah—unscripted—collapses in front of the stunned audience.
After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah’s difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted … after a failed abortion attempt.
Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her oldest friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past … and find hope for her unknown future.
In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah finds that life can be so much more than what you have planned.
*****
10% of the movie profits will be given to the Every Life is Beautiful Fund, which will distribute funds to frontline organizations helping women facing crisis pregnancies, adoption agencies, and those caring for orphans.
