Actor Kirk Cameron, who will be speaking in Overland Park on Friday evening, said his pro-life film “Lifemark” has saved at least one life.
“As a member of the family of faith, I am so thankful to see our culture finally moving in a direction on this issue of life that gives us something to cheer about and something to rally around,” Cameron said.

The “Growing Pains” star said he’s elated to hear stories of “Lifemark” being used as a ministry tool, with Christians and pro-life activists using the film to change hearts and minds about adoption and abortion. Cameron said fellow filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick recently told him an incredible story about a girl who was reportedly considering aborting her child. A man who worked for a ride service purportedly picked the girl up in Georgia and was stunned when he saw where she wanted to go.
“He noticed that the address … was an abortion clinic,” Cameron said. “And he had just seen the movie ‘Lifemark’ and was so deeply moved by it.”
Rather than remain silent or ignore what was unfolding, the driver implored the woman to watch the film before terminating her pregnancy and making such a life-altering decision. “She said, ‘Yes,’ and she went to go watch the movie,” Cameron said. “And as far as I know, she decided to keep her baby.”
Cameron went on to say the woman came to faith in Jesus Christ, too. It’s just one of the incredible stories emerging in the wake of the movie’s release — a legacy sure to be continued when the movie hits the Pure Flix platform next month.
Pure Flix CEO Michael Scott said he knew early on that “Lifemark” would be a solid fit for Pure Flix’s faith and family friendly streaming platform. “I knew right away with the Kendricks being involved and Kirk being involved that this would definitely be a solid movie for our audience,” he said.
Cameron called the timing of the release of the pro-life movie both “prophetic” and “impeccable.” The film emerged on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade — one major reason it continues to so resonate so deeply.
Cameron will be the keynote speaker at the Vitae Foundation banquet at the Overland Park Sheraton. For tickets or more information, visit www.vitaefoundation.org.
