Actor Demetrius Grosse Aims to Spark an Adoption Movement with 'Sound of Hope'

The lead actor in the new Angel Studios/Daily Wire film Sound of Hope says he believes the movie can spark an adoption movement within the body of Christ where families rise up to take in vulnerable children who need homes. Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (PG-13) tells the inspiring true story of families in a small East Texas town who adopt 77 of the most difficult-to-place children in the foster system thanks to the leadership of Rev. W.C. Martin and his wife, Donna Martin.

It will hit theaters on July 4 and will be released by the same studio, Angel, that was behind the blockbuster movie Sound of Freedom exactly one year ago. This month, Angel and Daily Wire announced a partnership to release Sound of Hope.

At the end of the film, viewers learn that there are some 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system, with 100,000 waiting to be adopted. Marvel star Letitia Wright (Black Panther, Wakanda Forever) is an executive producer. 

Actor Demetrius Grosse, who portrays Rev. Martin, said, “We’re all called as believers” to care for the less fortunate. Grosse cited James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
