The movie tells the story of young mother who awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family.

Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi & Richard Wright (Underworld, The Lincoln Lawyer) are producing the Lakeshore Entertainment production. The thriller will be released in theaters nationwide on September 7, 2018 by STX Entertainment.

Two exuberant, beautiful solo piano pieces: the three-movement "Three Dawns," based on poems by Jean-Joseph Rabéarivelo, and the nine-movement "Bush Radio Calling," written for the music-theater work "Just Them Walking," by New Zealand's avant-garde theater company Red Mole.

Spirit Stronger Than Blood pays homage to some of the recordings that shaped my musical-spiritual aesthetic: Charles Mingus’s Changes 1&2, Booker Little’s Strength and Sanity, Pharaoh Sanders’s Peace and Love, Clifford Thornton’s Gardens of Harlem, Alice Coltrane’s Ptah, The El Daoud. Each of these artists, as different as they are from each other, shared a commonality of intention that set me on my life and career path. Their music is spiritual, political, romantic, at turns angry and peaceful, and inspires us to transcend and challenge the inequities of quotidian existence in order to make the world a better place, to heal the broken world (tikkun olam).
