1. Is this a Christian Science Church project?
Answer: No. This is an independent film project who's purpose is to simply introduce Mary Baker Eddy and her profound life to the more than 80% of the world who have never heard her name or heard about the book she wrote on spiritual healing. The Christian Science Church was not asked for approval for this film project because it is an independent film, not an activity of the church nor meant to proselytize on behalf of the church.
2. Who is the intended audience for this film?
Answer: This film is intended for general audiences world-wide.
3. Will this film be a biography of Mary Baker Eddy?
Answer: The film is biographically accurate and the script was written to include more of her life story. It is primarily a drama focused on the events surrounding the attempt by a group of powerful newspaper moguls and others to destroy her and take control of everything she had built. It is a story of her victory over the most powerful figures in “yellow journalism” in 1906.
