Your Behind-the-Scenes Look at We Are Mothers

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. On this day, we recognize the women who have nurtured us. We honor the women who have sacrificed so much for their families. We celebrate the women who love their children unconditionally. There’s no doubt about it; moms are truly amazing in a number of ways. Do you think they fully understand just how special the title that has been bestowed upon them is?

This is for the women whose hearts are walking around outside of their bodies, who love children they didn’t birth, who can’t wait to hold the babies they couldn’t carry and the women who ache for a dream that can seem unseen. God chose you to take on the pain, the long nights, short years, and the incredible joy. He entrusted you with one of the hardest and holiest callings. YOU are a mother.

We Are Mothers is a heart-warming video from Playback Media, made in collaboration with Media That Matters. We wanted to create a mini movie for Mother’s Day that would serve as a reminder that the role that mothers and mother-figures play is so important. We hope that they will feel seen and appreciated as they take in the message of We are Mothers.
