We are planning a prescreening of Bella at the 2007 Conference!

This true story is about a man who had everything and lost it all, but by losing it all, he found everything that matters.

The story focuses on the value of every human life and the plot involved death, abortion, adoption, importance of family, and what love is all about.

It stars Eduardo Verastegui, the "heartthrob" of Latin American films and television.

Heartbeat President Peggy Hartshorn who has seen the movie said, "When in real life he moved to Hollywood to make a name and fortune in American film, instead of the fame he thought he came for, he found the Lord and rekindled the faith of his youth. This film which he not only stars in, but also wrote and directed, is a powerful movie that will appeal to 'the masses,' but will also make the public think and feel about life issues in a way that we hope will be life-changing for them and have a major influence in moving us more toward a culture of life! The movie may even save lives and bring people who have been touched by abortion to healing." Learn more about Eduardo Verastegui

It is an unforgettable film shot in New York City with strong performances and outstanding cinematography. What people love most about this story is that it makes them laugh, cry, and think about what's important in life. It is completely different and unpredictable and no one is sharing the ending.

Heartbeat is working with The Metanoia Team to provide our conference attendees the opportunity to see this award-winning independent film.

This is a great flick. I saw it in D.C., I also got to Meet former Miss USA or universe or something like that. She is in it, see if you can spot her.

This won some toronto film festival award as well.
