Today, we’re bringing you some Holiday cheer as we head to the fictional and festive town of New Hope, TX. I have the honor and thrill of speaking with Julia Barnett, the writer and director of the new holiday movie A Christmas in New Hope, and Mia Armstrong, one of the lead actors who plays Charlie, the daughter of a single mom fighting to save her home before Christmas. Mia, who has Down syndrome, shines in a role where her diagnosis takes a back seat, showcasing her as a fully realized character. Join us as we dive into the inspiration behind the movie, Mia’s journey to the role, and the powerful representation of Down syndrome in storytelling.
