The film showcases the trials and tribulations that\u00a0Abe and his family had to face in order to survive and the two women in his life that helped shape him into a legendary figure.<\/p>\n<p>Braydon\u00a0Denney plays Abe and for the first time, in film history, captures the young soul that would soon lead our country. Lincoln&#8217;s older sister, that cared for him a great deal of his childhood, is played by the talented Diane Kruger.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/betterangelsfilm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Better Angels<\/a>\u00a0is a piece of history that gets forgotten because of the brilliant presidency. Many forget the beginnings -Indiana, 1817.\u00a0At this time the\u00a0nation removed from a war of independence and\u00a0a mere\u00a040-years-old. Everyone was battling the world around them, trying to find their place while living in remote log cabins\u00a0to combat disease.<\/p>\n<p>The film, The Better Angels, will open your eyes to the beginnings and shed light on how greatness is born and the energy it takes to prevail.
