Jennifer Garner and Academy Award® nominee Queen Latifah star in the inspirational box office hit Miracles From Heaven, the incredible true story of a young girl’s medical miracle debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and AFFIRM Films.

Based on the story of the Beam family, Garner plays Christy Beam, whose daughter Annabel suffers from a rare digestive disorder, but finds herself miraculously cured after surviving a terrible accident.

Bonus content on the Miracles From Heaven Blu-ray, DVD and digital releases include two featurettes, as well as commentary. Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah, their costars and crew provide a behind the scenes look at the making of this very special film, in “Miracles Abound: The Making of Miracles From Heaven.” Viewers will also meet the real-life Beam family and Dr. Nurko, learn about the casting of the film and the challenge of “the tree.”

Shot at the Beam family ranch in Burleson, TX, “Bearing Witness,” features the Beam Family, their pastor, friends, first-responders and community as they gather around the tree and celebrate their faith and the miracles that brought them together.

In the “Your Words” montage, experience some of the film’s most touching and memorable moments set against Third Day’s powerful rendition of the inspirational song. The Blu-ray and digital releases exclusively contain deleted scenes and the featurette “Accounts from Annabel,” where Christy and Anna reflect together on their past, present, future, faith and bonding over the past four years since the incident.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Christy Beam herself, to discuss the making of the film, and how she hopes her family’s story will inspire viewers.
