A Tale of Resilience and Unity
In the midst of a devastating snowstorm that paralyzed Kentucky in 1994, a glimmer of hope emerged for three-year-old Michelle Schmitt, who awaited a life-saving liver transplant in Nebraska. Despite the treacherous conditions, the community rallied together, showcasing the extraordinary power of unity and compassion in the face of adversity.
From Heartfelt Story to Silver Screen
The remarkable saga of Michelle Schmitt and the selfless acts of her community have now been immortalized in the nationwide film “Ordinary Angels,” featuring acclaimed actors Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson. Through the lens of cinema, audiences will witness the indomitable spirit of individuals coming together to save a young life, igniting a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.
