Based on the life of a famed pro-life activist and public speaker, October Baby is a film that examines the spiritual and psychological damage caused by abortion.

The film is due in March 2012. It is based loosely on the life of Gianna Jessen, a young American woman who survived being aborted and who still bears the scars of the procedure. Jessen travels throughout the U.S. and internationally to share her story of survival, faith and hope.

October Baby stars Rachel Hendrix, Jason Burkey and Jasmine Guy. It is directed by Jon and Andrew Erwin.
