First Look At Lifetime’s ‘Color of Love’ Starring Deborah Joy Winans
Lifetime has released photos to its upcoming film ‘Color of Love,’ starring Deborah Joy Winans (“Greenleaf”) and Michael Brown. Premiering Easter Sunday, April 4 at 8:00pm ET/PT., Don McBrearty directs from a script by Tamara Bass.
The film is inspired by a true story about a black woman who tries to adopt two white kids into her family from foster care and has to fight to make it happen through the legal system and even within her family.
Inspired by a true story, Color of Love follows Monica Henderson (Winans), an African American widow with two kids who has so much love to give, she often fosters children who need a home. When she finds out that Peter and Rachel, the white brother and sister she fostered twice before, fled from their latest foster home, she takes them in again. Fearing the kids are in danger of slipping through the cracks of a flawed system, she begins the process of adopting them. Despite Monica’s mother and her boyfriend Theo’s beliefs that Peter and Rachel may be better off with a white family, Monica’s love for the kids puts the question of what makes a family to the test.
Color of Love is produced by Reel One in association with Lifetime. Executive producers include Tamara Bass, Suzanne Chapman, Tom Berry and Barbara Fisher.
