'Paper Dream' DVD from Bridgestone (New Hope, The Letter Writer) opens with a delightful scene of young Chirsty Button revealing her dream of motherhood and family life to her primary school class. Standing before her class mates, with a picture of her idealised future of house, home, kids and a smiling summer sun, she says: “When I grow up I want to be mum, with a big house, a big porch and purple flowers. Someday I’m going to get married and I’m going to have lots and lots of kids. And we’ll all be happy, and that’s what I want to be.”

As the film develops, it’s clear that the little girl, now the grown up and married Christy Davis, feels a long way from those hopes early of childhood. “I’d love to have morning sickness,” she cries “I’d love to be woken up and feel little feet kicking inside me.” Christy wants a baby – but it’s proving not to be that easy.

“Have faith,” she’s told. “Nothing is impossible with God,” say well meaning Christian friends. But how can she believe this when God seems to be denying her the most fundamental of human needs and purposes – to give and nurture new life. Shaking her world and her faith, Christy asks: “Is God really enough?”

The movie is touching the hearts of women – and men, who know what it’s like to want children and to have their dream denied. Women who’ve lost children, been through the pain of abortion and struggled with infertility have found the movie a source of comfort, hope and reassurance. This movie is about healing, and about realising and recognising that God is in control and who God is: God is God and he is still holy.

Supported by the charity American Families Association, AFA claim that the Paper Dream movie is impacting on people’s lives: people struggling with loss, unfulfilled dreams, infertility or hiding the fact of abortion, 'Paper Dream' is a moving drama deals with these issues and more in relation to a personal faith in a God who cares.
