Cabrini

An epic biographical portrait of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 where she is greeted with disease, crime, and impoverished children.

Cabrini (Cristiana Dell’Anna) 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. From Alejandro Monteverde, director of “Sound of Freedom”.

“The straightforward chronological approach works for this material, allowing the viewer to come to know Cabrini and become invested in her efforts to develop an orphanage.” ~James Berardinelli, ReelViews

“Cabrini is in no way a perfect movie, but a damn dignified one that honors the little-known efforts of these fearless women.” ~Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
