What If Changeling Had a Different Ending?

Imagine waking up one day and finding out that your child is missing. That’s exactly what happened to Christine Collins in Changeling, a true story where a mother fights against everyone, even the police, when they return the wrong boy and insist he’s hers.

Some fans believe that Christine’s story represents how strong and determined a mother’s love can be, even in the face of unimaginable obstacles. Others wonder if the boy she fought to get back was actually alive, and if there’s a mystery surrounding his true fate that still hasn’t been solved.

A key moment in the film is when Christine stands up to the police, refusing to accept a child who isn’t hers. It’s a powerful scene that shows her relentless drive for the truth, no matter the cost.

What if Christine hadn’t been so determined? Could the truth have remained hidden forever? Or what if she had found her real son earlier? Imagine a prequel where Christine’s life before the tragedy is explored, showing how she became the person who never gave up. Or, what if there was a sequel where she finally discovers the true fate of her child?
