The Touch
2005 drama
SYNOPSIS:
A young woman, Hannah More, acquires a lifetime of bad touches as she journeys through dysfunction, rejection, drugs, and jail. At the same time a local church has a bitter fight and is split down the middle on whether or not to open a shelter for homeless women. After a suicide attempt Hannah finds herself on the steps of the church’s shelter. Not only does her life begin to change through a series of good touches but the church is changed, and challenged, as well. Based on a true story.
The church eventually opened a women’s shelter, a 30 bed drug and alcohol facility for men, a group home for abandoned children, a children’s shelter, a resource center for assistance, a pregnancy care center, and a medical center staffed by 28 physicians providing indigent medical care. Over 100,000 have been helped…Hannah was one of them.
