Home schoolers take on Roe v Wade

Come What May movie 1 A new movie is out, combining the talents of home schoolers and a Christian production company, depicting a legal challenge to Roe v. Wade.

The movie, called Come What May (produced by Advent Film Group), features the debate team from Patrick Henry College that takes part in the National Moot Court Championship. The debate team uses arguments that many say could one day be used to overturn Roe v. Wade.

George Escobar, the founder of Advent Film Group, says the movie centers on a Christian student named Caleb, who is at odds with his mother on the pro-life issue.

"He's a new Christian; his father led him to Christ, while his mother is still a feminist constitutional attorney. She has trained her son all of his life, and now that he's become a Christian, there's a battle of worldviews taking place in the home, and it eventually manifests itself in the public square because the son has decided to...make a case to overturn Roe v. Wade at the National Moot Court Championship," he explains. "In the meantime, the mom is a constitutional attorney who goes before the U.S. Supreme Court, essentially to argue the opposite case. And we intercut between the two of them, between the Supreme Court and the moot court championship, and you see the argument on both sides."

According to Escobar, there are two goals with the movie.

"The first goal is for people to really understand, in a very simple manner, when life begins -- and we have a dramatic presentation of that between the father and the son," he contends. "And then we wanted to make sure that people understood that Roe v. Wade could be overturned...that if we elect the right officials who, in this case the president choosing the right Supreme Court justices, we have an opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the movie shows exactly the case for that reversal."

Come What May is now available on DVD.

The "preview edition" of Come What May is available through the Advent Film Group or through the American Family Association, the parent organization of the American Family News Network, which operates OneNewsNow.com.
