What is Cabrini about?
Per the official synopsis, from Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of Sound of Freedom, comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children.
Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor to secure housing and healthcare for society’s most vulnerable. With broken English and poor health, Cabrini uses her entrepreneurial mind to build an empire of hope unlike anything the world had ever seen.
Cabrini stars Cristiana Dell’Anna as the titular character, with John Lithgow, David Morse, Giancarlo Giannini, Federico Castelluccio, and Jeremy Bobb.
