Presenting the Award-Winning Documentary "You Have His Eyes" in Celebration of Adoption Month

In celebration of adoption month we are proud to announce the documentary film You Have His Eyes will continue its record breaking festival circuit run throughout the month of November.



Christopher Wilson's personal journey has now become the most highly accoladed film dealing with the subject of adoption on the market today.

    POMPANO BEACH, FL, November 04, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In each family a story is playing itself out. All its characters affected, for better or worse...

At three months old Christopher was adopted. 25 years later he reunited with his biological mother. He then began documenting his search for his father. An intense life changing experience is captured as Chris uncovers the dormant truths behind his biological family.

D. Channsin Berry & CTW Productions presents a story about a search.

For one man. Oneself. And the inescapable link of family.

"You Have His Eyes" chronicles the search for Lionel Scott, A Jamaican track runner and national record holder, who abruptly disappeared one day from existence. The story opens with a captivating personal confession from estranged birth mother to son. Heart warming as much as it is shocking, Neomi's account of her son's adoption is an empowering story about perseverance, sacrifice, resilience and above all love. "[Director Christopher] Wilson has used his skills to reveal a haunting story of love, mystery, and pain. By the time you reach the end of his escapade, your emotions are highly charged, filled with anticipation and hope. Wilson does not disappoint." (Emmy award winning journalist JC Hayward).

"On a deeper level, the documentary encapsulates the changing face of the American family. Melding the personal story of a uniquely diverse household, an intriguing character study, and mystery man-hunt, all while managing to touch on many of today's controversial and social topics." Explains the pictures director.

"By the films conclusion, the viewer will question the accuracies and inaccuracies behind mental illness, the detriments of domestic abuse on an individual, the role of adoption in our society, the undeniable consciousness of spiritual relations, as well as ponder our culture's broadening definition of "family".

Throw into the fray a high-end Hollywood private investigator, members of the Jamaican Government, and a psychic (TLC's future star Deborah Graham, whose brand new TV show The Psychic Matchmaker will air in 2015) all aiding in the search for one elusive figure. "You Have His Eyes" is a powerful documentary with a shocking conclusion that must be seen to be believed.

Christopher Wilson's personal journey has now become the most highly accoladed film dealing with the subject of adoption on the market today. The directors first feature film has captivated audiences across America. Winning eight major awards in the preliminary stages of the film's festival circuit run. Including two best director nods, two audience choice awards, and two best of festival honors. "Prior to obtaining a world wide distribution/broadcast deal and media attention, our modern marketing strategy has allowed us to screen the documentary all over the US at very prestigious festivals, in venues that allow me to engage personally and intimately with the audience. It has been an amazing experience to see the feedback this film is generating from a raw crowd before the hype sets in."
