OFFICIAL TRAILER
After years of working as a call girl, Cate discovers that her first love has moved back to town. She’s given the chance to leave the sex trade and lead the life she thought she always wanted. But her journey is challenged with substance abuse, mental illness, and the messiness of love. In the midst of that darkness, she must fight to gain a sense of self-worth and self-acceptance.
Genre: Drama | Run time: 99 minutes

"Wow what a film. So dangerous of a text to [adapt], but I think they nailed it."
- Tripp Fuller, Host of Homebrewed Christianity’ Podcast
“Hosea – the film – is really a parable, a story which lends itself to considerable amounts of unpacking and discussion. It’s a religious story for a post secular world, which turns a gentle but unflinching eye back toward the viewer.”
- Simon Cross, Writer and Journalist (Read the Full Review)
