Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story tells the story of reality TV star Birdie Moore (Stephanie Mills), whose carefully constructed world starts to crumble — like the baked goods that catapulted her to fame — when her family secrets are brought to light. To salvage her legacy, Birdie must let go of the pride that estranged her from her daughter. Birdie’s pride also prevents her from seeing that her son Gabe Moore (Thomas Miles) is actually a thieving opportunist and that her granddaughter Ella Boudreaux (Keeya King) is just a lost twenty-something trying to build up her life after some missteps. While pride helped drive Birdie’s success, it also made her blind to what was happening around her. Will Birdie finally be able to see and admit the truth, or face the consequences of her pride?
Back on March 28, Lifetime had a Press day and this is the video from that day. The Hollywood Times senior editor, Valerie Milano was able to ask the cast a question. Enjoy the video:
Lifetime has done it again with this Original movie bringing this story to life. There is definitely a message to be told in this film and we all should watch it to learn what that message is. It’s a great way to spend your Saturday night to home watching a great and powerful movie. Judy Shields, The Hollywood Times
