141 - Embraced Film - An Update with Joel Sheagren, Jodee Kulp and Justen Overlander


Listen Later

FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over twenty years of lived experience.

Episode 141 welcomes back Joel Sheagren and welcomes Jodee Kulp and Justen Overlander of the Embraced Film Project - Joel Sheagren (Season 1, Episode 22) is the Director and Co-Producer of the Embraced Film Project, Justen Overlander (Writer / Director / Producer of many films and series, including "The Chosen") and Jodee Kulp (Founder of Red Shoes Rock, Author, FASD Champion Advocate) are both  Co-Producers. 

"The documentary weaves together honest interviews, surprising data, and a scripted narrative inspired by true case studies. Beyond the film, our goal is to create supplemental educational materials to better educate families, teachers, law enforcement, and health providers about this under-the-radar epidemic.

The title, Embraced, is inspired by the way Director and Co-Producer Joel Sheagren embraces his son Sam’s FASD, and for the countless others who face serious lifelong challenges. Those with FASD have never had advocacy like we’re providing through this project." (Source - embracedmovement.org)

Listen to Joel, Jodee and Justen share how the Embraced FASD Film Movement has grown, fundraising efforts, goals for 2022 (and beyond) and their hopes in this amazing film and movement.

"Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and Prophets." - Matthew 22:37-40
