It’s finally here: the trailer from our first documentary film. We started this journey just about a year ago. This film, which was made for Life In Abundance and produced by Rule29 and MacDonald Productions, shares the stories and struggles of the street children of the Merkato Slums and shows what LIA is doing to bring hope to the approximately 50,000 children that live on the streets of Ethiopia’s capital. To purchase a copy of the film, go to the LIA store. All money that is raised goes to support the program and the continued work being done by Life In Abundance. For some of the behind the scene photos, check here.
Tell us what you think of the trailer, ask us any questions, or let us know if you want to host a screening.

Awesome job guys! Really makes me want to see it again.
It evokes an emotional connection. I am sure it was a challenge to create a successful trailers without making it look like one of those Christian “donate a dollar a day” commercials.
The trailer turned out great! Big love and appreciation to the R29 and MacDonald Production crew’s!
Looks fantastic! You guys do such great work
Thank you.
This is wonderful. I can’t wait to see the movie!
