Clare Niederpruem Shares About "Little Women" A Modern Retelling of the Classic

First-time faith-based female director Clare Niederpruem is bringing the classic story of LITTLE WOMEN into the 21st century in her modern-day adaptation starring Lea Thompson (BACK TO THE FUTURE) releasing in theaters nationwide on September 28th. A dream project of a lifetime, Clare enjoyed reading LITTLE WOMEN with her mom as a girl. She wanted to bring that experience to a new generation of girls who may not have discovered the classic work and modernize it for greater relatability. As a faith-based filmmaker, she wants to create films that portray positive depictions of women and wholesome family values. What could be more wholesome than the beloved tale of the March family?

Sisters—and dreams—are unique in their ability to inspire, encourage and change the world.

For 150 years, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has motivated women of all ages to dream together and celebrate family. Coming to theaters for the first time, a modern retelling of LITTLE WOMEN brings a new generation together with their mothers, sisters and friends.

From girls playing in the attic to women living with purpose, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—are committed to always supporting each other. Yet, growing up sometimes means growing apart.

An aspiring writer, Jo leaves for New York determined to publish a novel. In the wake of rejected draft upon draft, her editor challenges Jo to write about something more interesting—her family.

When tragedy brings the sisters back home, sticking together takes on new meaning. As Jo comforts her sick sister, Beth asks for one thing: a story.

Jo knows the perfect one … by heart.

Starring Lea Thompson as Marmee and featuring a talented cast, including Lucas Grabeel and Ian Bohen, LITTLE WOMEN tells the story of the same beloved sisters to a new generation.
