Watch the Preview for the Powerful, Upcoming Pro-Life Movie 'Unplanned' and Meet the Real-Life Heroes of the Film

Josh Shepherd : Jan 18, 2019  The Stream

"A lot of people don't want to talk about it. Hopefully, with a story as great as this, we can open up a dialogue. Even if they're coming to rag on the movie, we can bring these events to life accurately and hopefully move them to a place of being open-minded." -Jared Lotz, actor portraying Shawn Carney of 40 Days for Life

[Stream.org] On Friday, Believe Entertainment released a half-hour preview of the dramatic feature film "Unplanned" and announced its theatrical release for March 29. Based on real-life events, the $6 million independent film recounts the conversion of former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson to abortion industry whistleblower and now pro-life leader. A two-minute trailer for the film is expected online soon. (Screengrab image: Believe Entertainment/ via YouTube)

Back in 2009 when the film's events unfolded, Carney and his wife Marilisa had prayed for years outside the abortion center in Bryan, Texas where Johnson worked. The young couple played a key role in Johnson's change of heart, as chronicled in her bestselling memoir Unplanned.

"Abby has said many times, 'If there weren't people out there praying for me, I wouldn't be here,'" says Carney in a phone interview. "She has helped save thousands of babies, if not tens of thousands, through her testimony. And now she's helped hundreds of workers leave the abortion industry."
