A Harrowing Look at the Price of Conviction in Politically Divided America
A powerful new film is hitting theaters this summer—one that takes aim at the rising cost of faith, free speech, and peaceful dissent in modern America.
“Pardon Me: The Bevelyn B. Williams Story” is a bold biographical drama portraying the real-life events surrounding a fearless Christian activist who became a political lightning rod for her outspoken pro-life views. Produced by Owlam Studios and Hardrich Inc., the film opens nationwide on August 15, and is already sparking conversation across faith and freedom communities.
At the center of the film is Bevelyn B. Williams, a passionate woman of faith whose peaceful pro-life protests brought her into direct conflict with the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice. Charged under the controversial FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances), Bevelyn’s story exposes how far the federal government can go to silence dissent.
“This film isn’t just about Bevelyn,” said producer Tony D. White. “It’s about every American who wonders whether standing for truth will now cost them everything.”
The storyline moves from her street-level ministry and activism to a gripping courtroom battle, revealing the emotional toll of standing firm in a culture increasingly hostile to biblical conviction. With powerful performances from Angela White (“Blac Chyna”), Josie Davis, Jeremy Sumpter, Columbus Short, MMA legend Rampage Jackson, Erica Hubbard, Ricco Simonini, Farah White, and Jason Mitchell, the film provides an unvarnished look at the human cost of modern-day activism.
In a dramatic turn of events, Bevelyn’s story does not end with a prison sentence. Upon his return to the Oval Office, President Donald Trump pardoned 23 pro-life activists, including Williams—highlighting what he called a gross injustice carried out by the previous administration.
The film’s title, Pardon Me, serves as both a literal reference to the presidential pardon and a pointed message to a culture that increasingly punishes those who dare to speak out.
“This film is a wake-up call,” said White. “It’s a story the mainstream media won’t tell, but it’s one that every American needs to hear.”
