A Matter of Faith
Full-Length
3W, 3M / Drama
Betty Morgan is a Jehovah’s Witness who has leukemia and only a blood transfusion can save her. Yet, it is against her religion to receive blood under any circumstances, even to save her own life. Betty knows that if she takes the transfusion she will be shunned and ex-communicated from her faith so she decides to forego treatment and accept “whatever plan Jehovah may have.”
​
Yet, when Betty falls into a life-threatening coma, her husband, Sam, makes the difficult decision to fight for Betty's life despite the fierce objections of certain family members and other Jehovah’s Witnesses. But will time run out for Betty as those around her debate whether she should live or die in the name of her faith? Loosely based on real events, A MATTER OF FAITH is a contemporary drama that explores the complexities of right-to-die issues in the context of religion and the real price of what it means to have blind faith.
