Film: The 13th Day

My wife and I attended a screening of the recently released film, The 13th Day: a film that portrays the events surrounding the legendary apparitions of Mary in Fatima, Portugal in 1917.

The film does not portray every detail of the story, but it is still quite effective. Here's a clip:

It helps to be familiar with our theology of redemptive suffering to understand the many references to suffering in the film and its importance.
