A FILM TO END THE FOSTER CRISIS
POSSUM TROT is an independent narrative feature film produced by PEACETREE PRODUCTIONS in association with Letitia Wright's Threesixteen Productions, which released on 2200 screens. The film was funded entirely by donations, allowing the majority of profits to go to children and families in crisis.
The film is based on the incredible true story of Bishop and First Lady Donna Martin and their tiny Bennett Chapel church, in the rural East Texas community of Possum Trot, where twenty-two families linked arms and courageously adopted seventy-seven of the most difficult to place children in the local foster care system, igniting a national movement for vulnerable children that continues today.
