Maria Goretti DVD

This film tells the inspiring and tragic story of the beloved saint of modern youth who died defending her purity at the hands of a knife wielding attacker.

The story of Saint Maria Goretti, patron saint of modern youth, is retold in this beautifully made new film from Italy.

It tells of the plight of the poor laborers of the time, struggling to survive in a swampy area with rampant malaria and extreme poverty. Luigi and Assunta Goretti keep their faith despite the hardship, and instill in their children a deep love for God. Their daughter Maria especially is devout.

But tragedy strikes more than once: sickness and death affects the Goretti family, and then their young neighbor Alessandro does the unthinkable...

This film, made on location and filled with authentic detail, stars Martina Pinto as Maria, Flavio Insinna (Saint John Bosco) as the brave local Passionist priest, Luisa Ranieri and Massimo Bonetti as her parents, and Claudia Koll as the Countess Mazzoleni.

Includes a special 16 page study booklet with interviews, questions and answers, and more information. In Italian with English and Spanish subtitles, or English dubbed track.

This is a Region 1 DVD (playable ONLY in Bermuda, Canada, the Cayman Islands, United States and U.S. territories). 105 minutes.
