The story of the Italian nun who established an empire of charitable institutions is recounted in this biographical drama from Angel Studios.
, immigrants get the job done. That message seems to be getting lost in the current wave of anti-immigrant sentiment sweeping the nation, if not the world. But it receives a timely reminder in, the new drama about Francesca Cabrini, the Catholic missionary who arrived on our shores in 1889 and eventually established enough schools, orphanages and hospitals to form a veritable charitable empire. She became the first U.S. citizen to be canonized, in 1946, 29 years after her death.
As the stalwart nun resolutely sets out to achieve her goals, there’s no shortage of old movie-style foreshadowing in the script by Monteverde and Rod Barr. Cabrini, whose lungs are severely compromised, is told by a doctor that she has only two to three years to live. “Five would be a miracle,” he says, not knowing whom he’s dealing with.
The film smartly avoids making the character a cardboard saint, thanks to such smart dialogue as when Cabrini is ordered back to Italy by the Church at one point. In her subsequent meeting with the pope, he tells her, “You fascinate me, Cabrini. I can’t tell when your faith ends and your ambition begins.”
