- DirectorAngeles MacuaIn San Sebastian de Garabandal, a small village in the north of Spain, four girls named Jacinta, Mari Loli, Conchita and Maricruz, were witnesses of the apparitions of the Blessed Holy Virgin Mary and Saint Michael archangel, from 1961 to 1965. Amalia, sister of one of the seers, shares with us her experiences of those years. When relatives and neighbors witnessed their ecstasies, pilgrimages from all around the globe started coming to the village. Then, the Catholic Church decided to question the four seers in order to find out whether the phenomena were true facts or due to the imagination of the little girls. Once the Catholic Church accepted the miracles, pilgrimages increased. In 1961, priest Luis María Andreu, a seers' friend, visited Garabandal and had an ecstasy. Back home, he died after saying that it was the happiest day of his life. Pilgrimages to Garabandal have continued since apparitions started. Visitors from all over the world walk up to pray in the tree where the Blessed Holy Virgin Mary appeared for the first time. There are few people in Garabandal that witnessed the facts. Of five people that I managed to interview, three are immediate relatives to the four seers.
- DirectorMatt GallagherStarsLisa CharleyboyDarla ContoisJohn CopegogBeatified by Blessed John Paul II in 1980, Kateri Tekakwitha was proclaimed the first Native woman saint by Pope Benedict XVI on October 21, 2012. This moving documentary takes us on a journey from Upstate New York State to Montreal and Kahnawake; from Washington State to New Mexico, as we follow St. Kateri's incredible journey of deep faith, heroic sacrifice and love of Christ. Featuring many people who have been touched by her -including the little boy who received the miraculous healing that led to her canonization, this splendid film shows that no one is too simple or too young to follow Christ. "In Her Footsteps" paints the vivid picture of a brave young native woman, with scarred face and poor vision, who would become a source of healing, courage and divine insight for millions of people throughout the ages. St. Kateri's earthly life was hidden in the seventeenth century, yet her message continues to resound through time, reminding us of all that is good, beautiful, holy, pure and enduring about the Christian life and message. She is a true symbol of the enduring links between Catholicism and our native brothers and sisters, the indigenous people of our lands. As patron of ecology and the environment, she teaches us how to love and respect the created world and care for it. An instrument in her own lifetime of the First Evangelization, through her death and membership in the Communion of Saints, Kateri Tekakwitha is an enduring model of the New Evangelization for the Church.

- DirectorCarlo CarleiStarsSergio CastellittoJürgen ProchnowLorenza IndovinaThe poor Italian peasant boy Francesco already has visions of Jesus and Mary as a child, but the Devil visits him too. Francesco is quite certain that he will become a priest. After entering the Capuchin Order it becomes clear that Padre Pio (his new name) has powers that cannot be explained rationally: he heals the sick and knows the names, problems, and future of complete strangers. His prophesies that the then unknown young Karol Wojtyla will become Pope one day. Padre Pio's charity and ecstatic prayers make a great impression on the people. In 1918 the Wounds of Christ appear on his hands and feet - Padre Pio carries the stigmata. His followers multiply, and the cult that grows up around him makes his holy order and the Vatican uneasy. Many within the church consider him to be a hysteric or a trickster, since he only showed his wounds the one time when they first appeared. Padre Pio suffers reprisals and is no longer allowed to carry out his role as a priest. The ordinary people, however, continue to believe in him and his miracles. Just before his death in 1968 there is a reconciliation with the grand Visitor of the Vatican, who recognizes him as a Saint.
