About Miracles

This Christian-faith-based documentary takes on the subject of modern miracles, drawing on the stories of four people: a left-for-dead victim of a convenience store robbery, whose terrifying experience ultimately leads to both an unexpected recovery and a solution to his immigration woes; a woman who, without any apparent symptoms, acts on a “feeling” that she needs to be taken to the ER and receives just-in-time care as she slips into a coma; a blind musician (the result of a childhood accident) whose parents' prayers for their son's sight to be restored seem to have gone unanswered—until one considers his success; and a student who has just one week to raise thousands of dollars for a mission trip. Producer-director Chris Lang presents these narratives through dramatic re-enactments and interviews with the subjects, who note that the key factor for each was their faith in God—letting go of their own sense of control, in the face of overwhelming odds, in order to trust in the divine.
