Somebody's Child is a drama film that explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and faith. The story revolves around a middle-aged woman named Alice, who is struggling with kidney disease and is in desperate need of a transplant. Her son, Michael, is willing to donate his kidney to save her life, but Alice refuses to let him, believing that he needs his own kidney in case he ever needs a transplant himself.
As Alice's health deteriorates, she is visited by a man named Jamal, who claims to be the son of a man Alice wrongfully sent to prison over 20 years ago. Jamal is seeking forgiveness and wants to make amends for the time his father spent behind bars. Despite her initial reluctance, Alice agrees to help Jamal and his family, seeing it as an opportunity for redemption.
Through a series of flashbacks, we see Alice's past and learn about the events that led to the wrongful imprisonment of Jamal's father. As Alice confronts her past mistakes, she comes to a greater understanding of the mysteries of God and the importance of forgiveness.
The movie features strong performances from the cast, including Lynn Whitfield as Alice, Michael Jai White as Michael, and Byron Minns as Jamal. It is a poignant and uplifting story that touches on important themes of faith, forgiveness, and the power of redemption.
