Sulle orme di Padre Pio (2012)

In this documentary we share the path that led to sainthood for the young Francesco Forgione, later renowned and loved throught the world as Padre Pio. We gain inspiration and hope from the quiet places that marked the incredible course of this humble friar's life, an ailing boy from the town of Pietralcina. Padre Pio's monastery in southern Italy, at San Giovanni Rotondo, where the monk prayed and preached to thousands during his lifetime, is today a sanctuary for millions of pilgrims each year from every part of the world. The celebrated moments of Padre Pio's life until his death in 1968, from his first stigmata as a young man to his good works, healing and preaching, carry above all his message of peace, sacrifice and love.
