The incredible and powerful true story of FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI, a woman who fought the establishment and became the greatest social entrepreneur of the 19th century.
Directed by Alejandro Monteverde (Sound of Freedom) CABRINI shares the story of Francesca Cabrini, a poor, audacious Italian immigrant who became one of the great entrepreneurs of the 19th century. Through her willpower, courage, compassion, and business skill, she overcame sexism and violent anti-Italian bigotry while fighting against an establishment seeking to hold her back.
Francesca Cabrini was born in northern Italy in 1850. She and six of her Missionary Sisters set off for New York City in 1889. Despite poor health, barely any support from the Church and concerted efforts by New York’s political elite to doom her efforts to failure, she wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Over the course of 34 years, Mother Cabrini established an astonishing 67 hospitals, orphanages and schools. And despite being old she wouldn’t live past the age of 35, she passed away in 1917 at the age of 67.
Cabrini was canonized in 1946 by Pope Pius XII and became the first American citizen to be named a saint and is known as the Patron Saint of Immigrants.
CABRINI releases in cinemas nationally on Thursday 7th March 2024.
