The Barrington Brown Film is a story that was shared in 2022 in a book written by Sheila Brown and the Brown family about the traumatic car accident in 2020 that almost took their son’s life.
The Encouraging News Barrington, now a graduate of Morehouse University in Atlanta, Georgia has almost made a full recovery. The family is thankful for the Atlanta community’s support and the blessings of healing and having a skilled and caring medical team.

We are honored to bring this journey to life through film, shining a light on resilience and hope. This project is bigger than just a movie, it’s a movement." – Frankie Peay, Executive Producer, Forecast Media Group
