Faith-Based Film And God Made Man, Filmed in Bridgeport, WV, Gains National Relevance as Supreme Court Weighs Transgender Sports Case

Bridgeport, West Virginia – As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on a landmark case involving transgender participation in girls’ sports, a faith-based feature film produced in Bridgeport, WV is gaining renewed national attention for addressing the very issue now before the nation’s highest court.

And God Made Man, produced by JCFilms Studios and starring Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo, was filmed entirely in Bridgeport and tells a story that closely mirrors the legal and cultural debate unfolding across the country. The film follows a high school girl swimmer whose dream of a college scholarship is threatened after she is required to compete against a transgender athlete. What begins as a local sports dispute quickly becomes a courtroom battle and a broader cultural reckoning.

The real-life case now before the Supreme Court originated just outside Bridgeport and centers on Becky Pepper-Jackson, a high school athlete who challenged West Virginia’s “Save Women’s Sports Act.” That law, which bans transgender girls from competing in girls’ and women’s school sports, has been blocked by lower courts and is now under review by the Supreme Court. A decision is expected by early summer and could impact similar laws in more than two dozen states.

While legal arguments are being made in Washington, And God Made Man offers audiences a dramatic, faith-driven exploration of the real-world impact of these policies, particularly on young women whose athletic opportunities and futures may be affected.

“We made this film to tell a human story, one that many families are living right now,” said Jason Campbell, President of JCFilms Studios. “Long before the Supreme Court agreed to hear this case, we were filming in Bridgeport because this issue is important. Now the entire nation is paying attention.”

With Bridgeport at the intersection of a defining legal moment and a timely faith-based film, And God Made Man invites viewers to engage thoughtfully with the conversation around fairness, opportunity, and values in women’s sports.

And God Made Man is now streaming on several major platforms.
