Quick Answer

What is the short film Sing A Little Louder about?

Sing A Little Louder is an 11 minute short film, shot in Holland and directed by Jeremy Wiles, that draws a line between the Holocaust and abortion. It comes from the true account of an elderly man who as a youth witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust from the pews of his church. Churches across the country now show it to call Christians to speak for the unborn.

A powerful and heart-wrenching short film, Sing A Little Louder, based on the Holocaust during World War II, is shedding light on abortion and calling churches to raise their voice for those who have no voice. The film challenges Christians to take a stand against abortion and provides a stunning message for the twenty-first century and the current genocide that’s taking place with unborn children.

Turning a Blind Eye to Abortion

When Allied troops liberated the Nazi concentration camps, many Germans claimed that they had been unaware of the atrocities that had occurred. Sadly, most Christians today are in a similar situation as they turn a blind eye to abortion. The film challenges the church to open their eyes, raise their voices, and take a stand for what they know to be true.

Impact of the Film

The 11-minute short film was shot on location in Holland and is being used to help raise support for the pro-life movement. Churches of every denomination are now being encouraged to share the film with their congregations and give voice to the 42 million babies who are aborted every year around the world. Film Director, Jeremy Wiles spoke about the impact that the film has already created, “Churches all across the nation have been showing the film during their Sunday services, and it’s because the film has a timely and important message. The church just can’t continue to sing louder.”

Abortion: Our Modern Day Holocaust

During WWII, Hitler convinced Germany through propaganda that Jewish life had no value and that Jews were subhuman. Today, advocates for abortion use a similar argument, claiming that an unborn child is not yet human, which they often label as a fetus, a parasite to the mother. The term “fetus” is used by those who favor abortion to dehumanize the child. But that term is Latin for unborn child. Words can give life. Words can kill.

Hillary Clinton has furthered this agenda by arguing that unborn children just hours before delivery do not have constitutional rights. In an interview with Meet the Press she stated, “the unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights.”

Join the Cause

“We have to raise our voice for those that have no voice, and people can join the cause by sharing the film with their friends or showing it in their church,” says Wiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I watch Sing A Little Louder?

You can watch Sing A Little Louder for free at kingdomworks.com, and you can download it there to show at your church or in your small group. Churches of every denomination are being encouraged to share it with their congregations. If you screen it, plan what comes next, because a film like this opens a conversation and a church loses the moment if it has nothing to build on.

How many abortions happen around the world each year?

Around 42 million babies are aborted every year worldwide. The film exists to give those children a voice, and churches are being encouraged to show it to their congregations for exactly that reason. The number is large enough to go numb to, which is part of the point the film makes. When a category of person stops registering as a person, atrocity stops registering as atrocity.

Why does the film compare abortion to the Holocaust?

Because the mechanism is the same. During the war, propaganda convinced a nation that Jewish life had no value and that Jews were subhuman. Today the argument for abortion follows the same shape, claiming an unborn child is not yet human and labeling the child a fetus or a parasite. The film argues that abortion is our modern day Holocaust, only the casualties are far greater.

What does the word fetus actually mean?

Fetus is Latin for unborn child. The film points out that the term is used by those who favor abortion precisely to dehumanize, because a clinical-sounding Latin word puts distance between the listener and the child it describes. Words can give life and words can kill. That is why the language in this debate is not a side issue. It is how a conscience gets talked out of noticing.

How should a church respond after showing the film?

Do not let the moment end with the credits. The film challenges the church to open its eyes, raise its voice, and take a stand for what it already knows to be true, and that means giving people a next step rather than a feeling. A short film is a conversation starter. Starting a Conquer Group is one way to keep that momentum going instead of letting it fade by Wednesday.
