Introduced by popular entertainer-turned-evangelst Lola Falana, this non-fictional but dramatic educational program features the MTV-style music video, "Don't Cry, Mary", and has been broadcast on major television stations nationwide, as well as on cable and EWTN. Perfect for anyone wounded by, or considering abortion.

Dr. Theresa Burke, Ph.D., therapist and author of Rachel's Vineyard-A Psychological and Spiritual Journey of Post Abortion Healing, describes the symptoms of post abortion trauma and the spiritual alienation which occurs after abortion. Donna Huttenlock, an abortion victim, shares the story about her own journey to find forgiveness and healing 20 years after choosing to abort her unborn child.

Celebrity singer and performer Lola Falana introduces Bridging The Tears with a powerful, heartfelt message to protect and defend human life, embracing our unborn brothers and sisters with love and non-violence. Singer and songwriter Joseph Hooker and his wife Bridget Hylak perform their song "Don't Cry Mary" in an MTV-style video in which the audience shares the struggle, fear and trauma of a young, unwed mother faced with an unexpected pregnancy. The pressures placed upon her by both her boyfriend and society are poignantly portrayed as she struggles with the temptation to abort her unborn child.

Bridging The Tears will stimulate discussion and offer a compassionate solution for all those wounded by abortion, whether directly or indirectly. The video also offers valuable information on how to obtain help and support throughout pregnancy, as well as resources and programs for post-abortion healing.

Bridging The Tears is sure to inspire, enlighten and educate about abortion and post-abortion trauma, and joyfully shares the message of hope, compassion and healing offered by our God of mercy. (TOTAL TIME: 27 min.)
