"From the creators of Heartstrings comes a feature length comedy adventure – The Widow’s Might John and Cameron are close friends - aspiring filmmakers with the dream of winning the prestigious American Viewfinder film festival. When they discover that an acquaintance of Cameron’s, an elderly Widow, faces losing her home to the outrageous property taxes in her area, the Moore family takes action, along with their friends, the Morton’s. They navigate through political attacks, on-set mishaps, and a wild western ride, these families band together in a classic black hat/white hat tale of heroism. Featuring a wonderful original score and soundtrack. Winner of the 2009 San Antonia Christian Film festival."
So, if you can get past that awkward part of the storyline then the rest of it is fantastic :) On the outside it seems to be a children movie but one of the main messages of the film is to challenge older people to consider the impact they can still have on the lives of others.
I want to direct your attention to a recent article I read by Chad Stembridge entitled "When the Bad Guys Win." Chad does a fabulous job of analyzing the issues of when it works, when it doesn't, and how we as Christians should approach these kind of endings in our films. The following paragraphs are an excerpt to wet your appetite for the full article!
"Let’s face it — the reality is, the good guys don’t always win (though we who are Christians know that ultimately, the good guys do win). Such as it is, the stories we write won’t always have happy endings (at least, not in the timeframe of the story itself). But before we can charge into writing that tear-jerking ending, it’s always a good thing to keep in mind that there’s a right and a wrong way to do it.
I don’t consider myself to be an expert writer. However, I can think of two great examples that can be examined in order to see how to treat this kind of resolution. Let’s examine Zulu Dawn versus Valkyrie.
There’s a huge difference between these two films, even though they both have the same kind of resolution. Zulu Dawn was a flop, while Valkyrie was a box-office success. Why?"

The 2009 Doorpost Film Project winners have been announced! Grand prize and $100,00 goes to The Butterfly Circus!
This short film (20min) is probably one of the best stories I've seen and the analogy is beautiful! Rumor has it that the director and his team are planning to make a full-length feature off of it now. Viewer discretion is advised as some of the period costuming is rather...accurate to the time period and thus "lacking" at times.
"Heartfelt, "The Butterfly Circus," is set during the height of the Great Depression. The showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover a man without limbs at a carnival sideshow, but after an intriguing encounter with the showman, he becomes driven to hope against everything he has ever believed.
"The Butterfly Circus" stars Eduardo Verastegui ("Bella"), Nick Vujicic (Life Without Limbs ministry) and Doug Jones (The Silver Surfer, "Pan's Labyrinth")."
