About Giving Thanks
A widowed mother reunites her family for Thanksgiving, but secrets will be revealed and family bonds will be tested. As the saying goes, you can't pick your family, but be thankful for what you have no matter what.
Directed by Mark K. Buddington, Giving Thanks leans on a strong ensemble — Alexis 'Lexxy' Walker, J. Elliott, Samuel Smith — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
