Description
Twenty years ago, Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui made a promise
to God that he would not do any work that offended his Catholic faith, his
family or his culture. The vow meant he didn't work for four years as he had to
constantly turn down offers. Then he started a production company with two
friends and together produced "Sound of Freedom," about child
trafficking and sexual exploitation that starred Jim Caviezel as the agent who
hunts down traffickers. And now Verastegui's new film, "CABRINI."
On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Verastegui talks about Cabrini,
which tells the saga of Mother Cabrini, Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian
immigrant Catholic nun whose feistiness defied her frail health. She fought the
power structure of the Catholic Church and the city of New York, to build
orphanages, hospitals and schools, relieving the poverty of Italian immigrant
children. Verastegui says 100% of the film's profits will go to charity, continuing
the work of Mother Cabrini.
