Mother Child is written and will be directed by Rodrigo Garcia with Annette Bening and Naomi Watts in the starring roles.  What a beautiful combination!

Bening and Watts range of work will bring true performances to this story. Garcia is known for his television work as well as the film Nine Lives featuring nine intertwining tales about women.

Mother Child is a multilayered story overlapping tales as the script follows a woman who gave up her daughter 35 years ago and an African-American woman who is looking to adopt. Kerry Washington and Shareeka Epps also star.

Mother Child turns an emotional story about making choices and missing opportunities with the unbreakable blood bond between mother and daughter.
