"It was so captivating because there were times and scenes where the Spirit was ... in the room, and they would yell, 'Cut!' and I'm like, 'You can't cut on this!' This is the Spirit of God moving, not only in our performances, in our words, and in our thoughts, and in the messaging, because this film is meant to really fix this problem that we have in this country, with 400,000 kids being in foster care." -Nika King
