Stafford’s Holocaust / Civil Rights "Miracles" Documentary Harrowing

When filmmaker Clay Stafford set out to make a simple film about one woman’s efforts to change the world one child at a time, he had no idea the reception it would receive. Set to premiere at a Franklin, Tennessee theater on April 18, 2013 in the hometown where the story takes place, the theater sold out nearly immediately. Another screening was scheduled. And now another. WAKM says it is “a thrilling and inspirational story.” Williamson Herald calls it “harrowing.” The Tennessean declares it “miraculous.” 

What’s going to happen next with the film? Stafford doesn’t know. “We’ve been humbled at the response. To us, it was clearly a story that needed to be told and recorded, but we never could have anticipated the response. As a result, we’ve had interest from several television distributors, but no final decision has yet been made.” Like Inge, this film may have a life of its own.
