"This powerful epic film depicts the life of Fr. Carli Gnocchi, an Italian priest who labored heroically to minister to the wounded and dying soldiers during World War II, and to victims of the war on the home front. While teaching students at the Gonzaga Institute in Milan, Fr. Gnocchi volunteered to be the military chaplain on the war front. After witnessing the horror of the war, helping many suffering soldiers, and miraculously escaping death, he returned to start a foundation for the many children who were victims of the war. Starring Danielle Liotti, this film tells of Don Gnocchi's inspiring work with the students, the soliers, and the children. His great legacy lives on today in the Don Carlo Gnocchi Foundation that provides medical care for thousands of patients in over 75 hospitals and clinics in Europe, and his cause for Beatification is underway in Rome. -2009/English or Italian/200 Min. Special Features include a 16 page collectors booklet with biography of Don Gnocchi, study guide and film photos."
