Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot

Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (2024) is a drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Joshua Weigel and starring Demetrius Gross and Nika King. In a small Baptist congregation in rural East Texas, pastor W.C. Martin and his wife Donna made a decision that changed the lives of dozens of children.

Twenty-two families from their church in Possum Trot took in 77 foster children — the hardest-to-place kids in the system: those who had been hurt, moved through placement after placement, and had long since stopped expecting adults to stay. Elizabeth Mitchell co-stars.

Weigel doesn't build toward a triumph. What the film sits with is the long middle: the doubt, the anger, the uneven and often painful process of a child learning to trust people who might actually stay. The events are documented fact, not a parable. Stream Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (2024) on iFILM.
