Unique and very inspiring
I didn't know they made movies like this anymore. The entire show was inspiring, the music was moving and the perspective was unique. Wow. I have a greater respect for immigrants and in awe struck at the impact that one righteous woman can have on so many lives. So inspiring.
The movie shares an untold story of the discrimination that early immigrants from Italy faced. The children were forced to live in terrible conditions until a nun from Italy defies all odds and brute-forces her way into building an orphanage. She faces set back after set back but with her faith and desire to serve others she pushes through and accomplishes remarkable things. - samertallauze - 1 June 2024
