New Film Tells Story of Pro-Life Activist Jailed by Biden Admin
On August 15, 2025, Pardon Me: The Bevelyn B. Williams Story premieres nationwide, chronicling the journey of pro-life activist Bevelyn B. Williams.
Produced by Owlam Studios and Hardrich Inc., the biographical drama follows Williams’ transformation from a passionate street preacher to a federal defendant, prosecuted under the Biden administration’s enforcement of the FACE Act for peaceful protests outside abortion clinics.
Described as “bold and gripping,” the film highlights her legal battles, exploring themes of religious liberty and free speech.
Williams’ eventual pardon by President Donald Trump serves as the story’s resolution, underscoring what filmmakers call an “injustice endured.”
Featuring Angela White, Josie Davis, and Columbus Short, the film aims to bridge gaps between pro-life, black, and Christian communities. Williams hopes it raises awareness about abortion’s impact, emphasizing courage in the face of persecution.
