God’s Not Dead producers share a grippign behind the scenes look of the upcoming ‘Unplanned’ movie.
This captivating film of a former Planned Parenthood worker tells the story of Abby Johnson, the youngest director of a clinic in the nation.
Abby loved her job and she was even awarded the 2008 Employee of the Year at Planned Parenthood. Altogether, she was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions. But after she assisted on an abortion involving a 13-week-old fetus, her entire world changed.
Before that moment, Abby believed that an unborn baby could not feel the pain of an abortion. She soon realized that was not true. Abby walked out of the procedure and never looked back.
‘Unplanned’ showcases Abby’s journey from Planned Parenthood worker to pro-life advocate.
Today, the actors and producers are sharing a behind the scenes look at the making of this powerful film. One of the most interesting facts about the movie is how actress Ashley Bratcher landed the lead part of Abby Johnson.
After reading the audition scene, Ashley was so moved that she knew God was calling her to this role. She even wrote an e-mail to the producers expressing her need for this part.
They recalled a part in the e-mail when Ashley said, “The Lord spoke to me and told me He had a mighty work for me to do but I was not ready. But when I was, if He would tell me what it was and would bring it forward.”
This powerful film will take a closer look at the abortion industry and the workers involved in these heartbreaking procedures. Abby still continues to help others in situations like her own find the confidence to leave abortion clinics and find new opportunities.
Nearly one million abortions take place in The United States of America every single year. After ‘Unplanned’ is released on March 29th, producers are hoping that the world will finally understand the truth.
