HOMEBOUND
Feature Film in Development
Our full length documentary film will explore the courageous journeys of sex-trafficked survivors as they rebuild their lives and find restoration. The film elevates survivor voices along with men and women who walk alongside them—offering advocacy, care, and the hope of Christ. Through cinematic storytelling and imagery, it testifies to human resilience and God’s redemptive love.
Inspired by Wellspring Living, a 25+ year Atlanta-based Christian nonprofit transforming lives through trauma recovery, housing, education, and vocational training, HOMEBOUND highlights sustainable, survivor-centered solutions. The film also spotlights shelters, counseling centers, churches, and advocacy networks nationwide, showing how the body of Christ unites to heal the brokenhearted and restore dignity.
The title carries layered meaning: many survivors come from broken homes, yet their journeys reveal a deeper discovery of home—safety, belonging, and communion with God. Through narratives spanning diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, HOMEBOUND affirms both the universality of suffering and God’s healing grace.
Artistically, the film interweaves survivor testimonies with the narrative of a young girl’s journey from a broken home to a new one. Spanning childhood to adulthood, her arc unfolds through metaphors of renewal and beauty drawn from real survivor experiences, offering an immersive emotional encounter. This cinematic thread reveals the redemptive heart of Christ. While unapologetically Christian, the film resonates broadly by exploring justice, dignity, and hope—inviting audiences of all backgrounds into dialogue on restoration.
HOMEBOUND has already advanced through the Angel Guild audience selection process and received a letter of intent for distribution from Angel Studios, a major Film/TV distribution company known for championing stories that “amplify light.” Angel Studios supports a global platform with over 45 million app downloads across Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Xbox, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, ensuring widespread accessibility. Their model uniquely engages almost 1.5 million Angel Guild members (a significant portion identifying as Christian), who participate in selecting, promoting, and directly contributing to launching successful theatrical campaigns.
Distribution precedent is strong: Angel Studios’ 2023 movie release Sound of Freedom grossed over $250 million worldwide, reaching an estimated 20 million U.S. theatergoers, with nearly 2 million Pay-It-Forward tickets expanding access for underserved audiences. The film ignited a cultural conversation around sex-trafficking, raising unprecedented awareness and catalyzing advocacy at grassroots and political levels.
HOMEBOUND serves as a vital next chapter in this conversation. While Sound of Freedom highlighted the urgency of rescue, HOMEBOUND shifts the lens to the often-overlooked reality of survivors’ long journeys toward healing, stability, and independence. With an audience already moved by Sound of Freedom, we anticipate strong advocacy, sustained viewership, and expanded awareness generated by this film.
By leveraging Angel Studios’ infrastructure and audience community, HOMEBOUND is poised for significant impact:
-
A theatrical release reaching millions of viewers nationwide, amplified by Angel Studios’ Pay-It-Forward campaigns.
-
A subsequent global streaming release via the Angel app, potentially reaching tens of millions of households.
-
Extensive community-level engagement, with screenings in churches, schools, universities, and advocacy networks, multiplying impact far beyond digital viewership.
Through these outputs, HOMEBOUND will not only deliver a powerful cinematic experience, but also become a catalytic force for education, spiritual formation, and community mobilization—amplifying survivor voices, uplifting faith-driven support, and sustaining the cultural momentum generated by Sound of Freedom.
