MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN
Director
: Patricia Riggen
Cert: 12A. 109 mins

This is an incredibly moving film, about God’s love in the face of suffering.

Christy Beam (Jennifer Garner) and her husband Kevin (Martin Henderson) seem to have a good, comfortable life, with three daughters and many animals (he’s a vet). However, when their daughter Anna (Kylie Rogers) suddenly develops a rare disease and money problems begin to escalate, Christy greatly struggles with her faith, but wields a fierce love as she fights for her daughter, who has a simple, trusting faith despite it all.
