Fatima

Released in 2020, this remarkable movie is still one of the most important Christian films of this year.

In 1917, Portugal was gripped by World War One. Christian peasants were oppressed by an atheist government. Suddenly three children — siblings Francisco and Jacinta, along with their cousin Lúcia — claimed that the Blessed Virgin Mary visited them.

The message they spread caught the world’s attention. The consequences rocked their rural town and made waves in religious and secular circles too.

This remarkable true story will appeal to believers and nonbelievers alike. It portrays the conflict between secular authority and simple faith. However, it also shows us that everyone, even the youngest, has the power to stay true to what we believe.

Stephanie Gil gives a standout performance as Lúcia Santos, the protagonist of the story. Don’t miss the glorious landscapes and stirring score of this masterpiece.
