Momentum Influencers Blog Tour: CABRINI Movie Review and Giveaway

From Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮,

comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children. Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor to secure housing and healthcare for society's most vulnerable. With broken English and poor health, Cabrini uses her entrepreneurial mind to build an empire of hope unlike anything

the world had ever seen.

Based on the true story of one woman’s fight for the equality, health, and

happiness of immigrant orphans.

From the director, producers and writers of Sound of Freedom, the 16th highest grossing independent film of all time. Sound of Freedom came in #10 in the US box office and made over $240 million worldwide
Starring Academy Award nominated and Tony award winning John Lithgow. Lithgow is best known for "The World According to Garp" (1982), "Terms of Endearment" (1983), "3rd Rock from the Sun" (NBC, 1996-2001), and "Dexter" (Showtime, 2006-2013).
Cabrini also stars Academy Emmy nominated actor David Morse
Cabrini is the first biopic about the Patron Saint of Immigrants
Francesca Cabrini was born in northern Italy in 1850. She and six of her Missionary Sisters set off for New York City in 1889.
Cabrini had aquaphobia. Cabrini nearly drowned as a child, which spurred her fear of water. However, she overcame it as an adult when she made 23 transatlantic trips to do missionary work around the world
Mother Cabrini became a naturalized citizen in Seattle Washington on October 9, 1909
She was canonized in 1946 by Pope Pius XII and became the first American citizen to be named a saint.
Four years later Cabrini was given the title of Patroness of Immigrants.
She died in Chicago on December 22, 1917 at the age of 67 of chronic endocarditis.
Over the course of 34 years she established an astonishing 67 hospitals, orphanages, and schools. Her energy was fueled by an intense focus on serving Jesus in whatever he asked of her and her legacy still stands today.

I recently had the opportunity to see this movie before it is released to the Public. I truly enjoyed the movie and the message it gives. Cabrini was a very giving and determined woman who wanted to make sure the impoverished were fed, housed and clothed. She was met with opposition from the Mayor of NYC but she never took NO for an answer. Cabrini's knowledge of Business and Entrepreneurial Spirit really helped her in this feat. Cabrini was able to make changes in Society that many didn't think were possible. I really think everyone should see this movie, especially during this season of Lent. FANTASTIC MOVIE!
