Justin Bieber.

About an expectant mother faced with a choice.

And was called crescendo.

Paddy Mullen joins us now patty -- there.

He had a reason for making this film and it wasn't political it's because it really.

It's so much a part of of your own story -- pregnant at seventeen.

Being in a I'm really a crisis pregnancy center that that nurtured you and help -- and -- you support.

That ultimately gave you the power.

To be a mom now so.

Did you know then how difficult.

Some of these choices would be free.

He had you know.

At the time young is young and scared and I'm prepared and I just ended up.

You know finding a place -- that would.

Give me at a place to live then and that was at her pregnancy crisis center and I really don't know where I'd be today without that -- There were people now who who really want to politicize this and I think that's tragic because your -- it.

Is because you know how that helped you through that very tough time of your life right but but there's -- some horrible things right that you over -- You know the the movie and is is a story about Beethoven's not act and it's just a historical piece -- It's not you know making a political statement one way -- -- -- And the reason why I wanted to get involved -- -- a 100% of the proceeds going to charity there.

And supporting.

Pregnancy homes all over the world.

And because of my past it just hits home with -- and that's why I'm excited to be be -- part of.

The people try to even use.

Your own advocacy for crisis pregnancy to divide you and your son because.

You know it seems like that there are always people who want to.

Exploit somebody who's in the entertainment business and you know just Stephen separate them from from their roots.

Is is that happening I think the media likes to make up stories -- I don't really have never know.

I'm shocked just shocked patty that they would do something like I seen stories saying you know.

-- -- -- -- new destiny was mom's new film is dividing then and he's not happy about it and that's not the case.

That it just is not mad at you know I'm not -- -- he he would have you know I support above.

I mean and -- -- -- -- did this film is to help pregnant -- I think no matter what your stance.

I I think that everyone would agree that it's a good thing that to help young girls who need it.

You know it would be irrational for him to be upset because -- you made the choice many people were pressuring you to make.

He wouldn't be here I think that's one of the most powerful things about your story when we had here before I thought -- young girls have thought about the fact that.

Had in the let making a decision is a scared seventeen year old.

Resulted in -- -- -- person that they just a door.

Even being here when.

You know you talk about the passion you have for the organizations the crisis pregnancy centers.

If this film.

Catches hold and and people are respond to it.

What's what's the potential what could it possibly do to help those crisis pregnancy centers all over the country.

Another -- right now is to raise ten million dollars for pregnancy sends around -- and sell.

-- on February 28 they're planning on showing movie -- there's some theaters that are hosting and you know different events different places that are hosting and so added that the money raised a 100% of the proceeds is going to a charity.

And you said that the film is is about Beethoven's mother yes so tell me what it is about Beethoven that.

Maybe would have something to do with crisis pregnancy senators and it's -- -- -- Think you know what I with the reason that I resident resonated with Beethoven's -- there is just because.

She had such a difficult life growing up and you know she was -- -- for a rural.

Marriage relationship.

And even she really struggled -- chat you know -- facing committing suicide and abortion and so.

Just so much of that resonates and story.

Well -- it's always great having you here and I thank you for your courage to candor of your story 'cause I think that really touches people.

And we hope that the film will be very successful in raising funds for crisis pregnancy -- all over the country.
