Cabrini

Mother Cabrini dreams of building a network of orphanages worldwide, and she is determined. The church invites her to Rome to deny her in person, but her persistence gets her a meeting with the Pope and approval to start her mission. As the leader of the first female-led mission, Cabrini sets off to New York to help the Italian immigrants. Her mission was to get the orphanage up and running, but she changed the world.

This is a biopic about the first United States Saint, Mother Cabrini. The story is more about the bureaucracy, politics, and prejudice she overcame to achieve her goals and less about religion and the church. The story is inspiring, heart-wrenching, and applicable today. The film is long and slow but very satisfying to watch. I highly recommend watching this film either in theaters or when available to stream, regardless of your faith or religion.
