SYNOPSIS:
MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN is based on the incredible true story of the Beam family.  When Christy Beam (Jennifer Garner) discovers her 10-year-old daughter Anna (Kylie Rogers) has a rare, incurable disease, she becomes a ferocious advocate for her daughter’s healing as she searches for a solution. As Christy searches she befriends Angela (Queen Latifah), who helps bring everyday joy and hope back to the Beam family. After Anna has a freak accident, an extraordinary miracle unfolds in the wake of her dramatic rescue that leaves medical specialists mystified, her family’s faith restored and their community inspired.

NEWS HOOKS:
How to explain a miracle?
Anna Beam’s recovery from a debilitating disorder defied medical explanations. Anna’s mom, Christy, knew it was a miracle. When the accident and surrounding crisis had passed, Anna spoke of heaven and of seeing Jesus. Just as amazing, she was “asymptomatic” for the disease. Cured. Ask Christy Beam if MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN adequately captures the miracle. Ask the question any hurting parent would ask: why Anna?

How else does a miracle change a person?
In one Bible account, Jesus healed ten lepers and only one returned to thank him. One message is that different people handle miracles differently. Did Anna’s healing change her long-term? Her family? Their neighbors and community? What else changed?
