Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Movie Review:
Genre: Biography, Drama, History
Runtime: 135 min
Release Date: 1972

Screenplay co-written and directed by Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo And Juliet; Jesus of Nazareth) not long after he became a born-again Christian. Brother Sun, Sister Moon is an uncommonly rewarding and meaningful film experience. A real blessing, causing the viewer to examine the depth and commitment of his own walk with Christ. Zefirelli's cinematography is brilliantly beautiful throughout. The film focuses on the early years of Francis of Assisi, who renounced his family's riches and past worldly life to follow Christ in sincerity and humility, unencumbered by material possessions.

NINE DAYS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD is a very timely, must-see, inspiring documentary about Pope John Paul II’s historic, world-changing nine-day pilgrimage to Poland in June 1979. The documentary helps viewers understand the history of Poland and the biography of Pope John Paul II. When Pope John Paul II came to Poland, millions showed up to see him. Even though the state television did everything to try to diminish his visit. By being so biased, the state media was irrevocably embarrassed. The people had gone to see the pope, and they saw that the television lied. Suddenly, the people realized there were more of them than there were of the Communists. And, when the Pope asked God to pour out His Holy Spirit, God transformed the people.
