Francesca Cabrini was an entrepreneur, an inspiration and a pioneer for women throughout all generations.
Charlotte Maytum, Programme Manager (Strong Women Strong World), World Vision said:
“We are incredibly proud to be supporting this wonderful film. We were moved by this powerful story of Francesca Cabrini who supported those in need, bringing them dignity and a future. As a child-focused charity, World Vision is also passionate about helping children in the most vulnerable circumstances, especially girls. Gender equality is key to creating change, and we know that when women and girls enjoy equal rights, freedoms, access, and opportunities, children are better cared for and the whole community benefits.”
“Strong Women Strong World’ is a movement of people who believe that gender equality is the key to a better world. Through collaboration with UK partners, we aim to work alongside more than six million women and girls, as they’re empowered to thrive. Just like Cabrini, we believe in doing what’s right – helping the world’s most vulnerable children experience fullness of life.”
From Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of , comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children.
Cabrini 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 unlike anything the world had ever seen.
