LOS ANGELES, CA (EnvisionPR.com) – Clean Heart Productions releases the documentary film, SOULMATE, nationwide this fall. SOULMATE is a gripping cinematic journey into the realities facing today’s successful, saved, single African-American women. According to the 2004 U.S. Census, 42.3% of all African-American women have never been married. This staggering statistic is one of many reflected throughout this deeply personal portrait which reveals the trials and triumphs of unforgettable women while offering hope and practical advice on issues such as loneliness, the desire for sexual intimacy and the ticking biological clock. Having already received rave reviews from private screenings across the country, acclaimed veteran television writer/producer and founder of Clean Heart Productions, Andrea Wiley, has produced a revolutionary film which she hopes will not only impact the body of Christ, but popular culture as well.
SOUMATE brings you face to face with the stark realities facing today’s single, professional African American women such as:

Black women are five times more likely to remain single at 40 than white women.
Unlike any other race, Black women have higher educational attainment than black men.
The more money and education a black woman has, the less likely she is to ever get married or have children.
Almost 70% of all new cases of HIV/AIDS are black women.
AIDS is the number one killer of black women between the ages of 25 and 44.Beyond the friends and associates that gathered to share their journeys, SOULMATE offers insight and wisdom on coping with singleness in a God-centered way from some of the nation’s most dynamic Christian leaders: Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer, senior pastor of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, CA—of which 66% of his 11,000 plus membership are singles; speaker, singer, former advertising agent and New York Times best selling author of Sassy, Single and Satisfied, Michelle McKinney Hammond; Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale, senior pastor of Ray of Hope Christian Church in Decatur, GA; actress/comedienne Sherri Shepherd; and senior pastor Donald Bell of Covenant Blessing Fellowship Church, Gardena, CA, among others.
"Soulmate gives voice to the thoughts of successful, single women who love God, but desire a mate. Each opinion shared by the interviewees speaks to the heart and soul of every single woman. The advice given is insightful and necessary, and the reflections are heart wrenching and real. I recommend that Soulmate be viewed not only by singles, but by churches across the country so that spiritual leadership can get a clearer picture of the challenges single Christian women face on a daily basis,” comments Kimberley Brooks, author of He's Fine...But is He Saved?
For those still waiting to exhale, SOULMATE penetrates the myriad of emotions felt by women at pivotal moments and stages in their lives. This inspiring film also offers some surprising revelations about the quest for one’s true - Soulmate.

I remember someone posted about this video months ago, but it wasn't out yet. The trailer looks interested and I'll probably order it.

I don't know guys. I didn't get a good feeling while watching the trailer. I understand that they are keeping it real, but it seems like someone who is desiring and waiting on a mate could get depressed from watching that. Shoot, I'm married and it was kind of depressing.

If you do watch it, don't let it get you down. Forget those statistics--God can override any statistic out there!

Agreed on all points! It seems like the intentions of the movie are good, but I watched the trailer and thought, "Wow, this is really sad."

I guess I figure that black women know the reality already... I'd rather hear some good "solutions" and advice about making the most of one's singlehood and staying encouraged about your desire to be married.

Yeah, my brother had ordered the DVD. This was actually about almost a year ago. He never received it. I have to tell him that it is finished now.

The 52 year old woman who was simply BREATHTAKING and said she had never been married just broke my heart. I don't claim that reality for my life, but it is something to think about. I'm looking forward to seeing the video.

I thought about your remark here.... I've expressed my tug-of-war thinking regarding this film. On one hand, it's finally being discussed and yet on the other hand, it seems that there is simply no hope. For those who have been blessed to be married, I'm sure you all may feel grateful that you have somebody.... I'm rambling a bit but I guess I'm saying that that kind of thinking can come off as pitying single women.... Pity is neither healthy nor productive nor useful. One of several ways that my married sisters have shown their support to me is not only by praying and agreeing for and with me regarding my soulmate, but two of them have done more by introducting me to potential suitors. This is not an easy thing to do because of the possibility of a ruined friendship or hooking me up with a crazy person (Ha!) but that also showed me that they think of me in a good way to want to let somebody else get to know me. In one situation, the dude stopped calling me after he met me (he was 43!) and in the other case, the dude has promised his cousin (who introduced us) that he would "rectify" the situation with me (sorta still waiting on that.... I kinda liked him:look:). So like I said, I'm rambling....

How ironic I just looked at this last week, cause I am always getting the emails and just decided to peep it out, although I have had it since August. I had a discussion about it and it is very sad to me.
