Best known for her powerful singing, Debra Bonner's motherly warmth weaves together five women's stories as narrator of a new film titled "Women in Christ."
Based on the book "The Not-so-secret Lives of Real Mormon Wives," "Women in Christ" features four Latter-day Saint women in addition to Bonner: Kerry Owens, who started a nonprofit for hungry children; Esther Jackson-Stowell, the daughter of a Nigerian chieftain; entrepreneur Fernanda Bӧhme, of Bӧhme fashion brand fame; and Kimberly Dowdell, whose considerable Instagram presence is focused on Down syndrome.
"This film has changed my life," says the film's director, Daylen Pollard. "This isn't a rebuttal to Hulu, reality TV, or other portrayals of Latter-day Saint women. It's a movement to honor, empower, and properly represent the millions of disciples whose lives are defined by following Jesus Christ."
