LIFEMARK

LIFEMARK is a faith-based drama about a young man who has always tried to hide the fact he’s adopted, but, when his birth mother reaches out to him, he must decide if he’ll let her into his life. LIFEMARK is a well-made, heartwarming, inspiring movie with a strong Christian worldview promoting reliance on God, believing God’s plan, forgiveness and loving others, with a beautiful pro-life message about adoption and the value of life.

David is a senior in high school who’s going to turn 18 soon. He has an important speech coming up about something that’s impacted his life. Throughout his life, David has kept it secret that he was adopted, but his teacher suggests that would be a good topic if he’s willing to talk about it.

David goes home to find that his birth mother has reached out to him and is interested in meeting him. David wrestles with the idea of meeting his birth mom, but his best friend, Nate, thinks it is a great idea and thinks they should document their meeting.

Deciding to meet his birth mother, David now has heard from his biological father and must decide if he would like to meet him as well. Will David meet his biological mother and father? Will he be able to be open with them and listen to what they have to say about giving him up for adoption?

LIFEMARK is a well-made, heartwarming, inspiring movie produced by the Kendrick Brothers and Kirk Cameron, who also stars. The movie is solid throughout, with a very positive Christian worldview. The movie promotes relying on God, believing God’s plan, forgiveness, and loving others. There’s also a beautiful pro-life message about adoption, giving life and the value of life.

Don’t the PG-13 rating stop you from seeing this movie. The movie’s themes about abortion and pro-life issues are the reason the Hollywood elites are giving the movie such a tough rating. There’s nothing graphic or objectionable in LIFEMARK; it just has heavier themes designed for older children.
