A Distant Thunder is a psychological thriller based on the horrific realities of partial-birth abortion.

The film depicts the life of Ann Brown, a pro-choice attorney serving as the prosecutor in a murder case involving an unborn child. During her preparation for the trial, Brown feels threatened by mysterious men and has repeated nightmares. At the trial, the main witness brought to the floor is the mother of a child who was the victim of partial-birth abortion. The story is resolved in a surprise ending that makes a powerful pro-life case.

The vision behind the 35-minute DVD began when director Jonathan Flora and his wife discovered they would not be able to have children. As Mr. Flora, an award-winning producer for Disney, researched ways to combat his and his wife's infertility, he stumbled across the issue of partial-birth abortion—a procedure in which a physician partially delivers a baby, then punctures its skull and removes its brain before completing the delivery.
