Elmer Jackson is a carpenter in a small Californian town in the 1930s. Struggling to bring up four young boys after the death of his wife, he is horrified when the government (citing trumped-up charges of parental neglect) places the boys into various foster homes and institutions, unaware of the abuse that the boys would then be subjected to. The conditions imposed by the court and the difficulties caused by the Depression make Jackson's determined and vigorous quest to find his boys extremely difficult.
After the Promise received positive reviews from critics. The film was nominated for two Golden Globes. One in the category of "Best Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television" and another in the category of "Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television" for Mark Harmon.[1] The film was also nominated for two Young Artist Awards in the categories of "Best Family TV Special" and "Best Young Actor/Actress Ensemble in a Television Comedy, Drama Series or Special".[2]
