What an inspiring story about Francesca Cabrini, a nun from a small town in northern Italy, who went on to convince Pope Leo XIII, Archbishop Corrigan, and Mayor Gould of New York of the importance of feeding, housing, and educating the homeless Italian-American orphans of New York. The slums of Five Points in Manhattan are depressingly realistic, Mother Cabrini's obstacles along the way seem insurmountable, but her successes are uplifting and heart warming. It’s a very engaging movie with excellent acting by Cristiana Dell’Anna, John Lithgow, and David Morse. My favorite quote: Mayor Gould : It's a shame that you're a woman, Mother. You would have made an excellent man. Cabrini : Oh no, Mr. Mayor, men could never do what we do. Highly recommended!

I expected this film would be somewhat of a tearjerker or to focus on Mother Cabrini's religious life, but neither of these were the case. It was however a powerful tribute to the strength of purpose and compassion. Very timely given the current status of immigration in the world. Highly recommend!
