Finding Fatima Brings Marian Apparitions to Life
This summer, Finding Fatima introduces one of the most important Marian apparitions in Church history to a new generation – and in a new and unique way. Producers Ian and Dominic Higgins have created a docudrama that follows up their highly acclaimed feature film “The 13th Day” with a fresh and complete look at Our Lady’s appearances to apparitions to Lucia dos Santos and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto. Finding Fatima is available now from Ignatius Press.
The film uses archival footage and dramatic reenactments to take viewers to that Blessed time and place, and the Higgins include original interviews with Fatima experts and relatives of eyewitnesses to tell the entire story of Our Lady of Fatima and world events related to her appearances throughout 1917 – including a truly miraculous event that occurred almost 30 years later halfway around the world.
With high production values and a beautiful look, the film covers all of the crucial details about the importance of the 1917 appearances and messages of Our Lady in Fatima – messages or prayer, penance and conversion that are desperately needed today.
“As much as I love watching documentaries, I was just going to give this a quick perusal, but I got hooked and couldn’t stop watching,” said Sr. Helena Burns in a review posted on her “Hell Burns” blog. “‘Finding Fatima’ could be called ‘Fatima Then and Now’ because it brings us up to speed on the Fatima story as it continues to unfold in our present day.”
This week marks the 84th anniversary of one of the most powerful of Our Lady’s Fatima apparitions. It was during her July 13th appearance that she showed the three peasant children a horrifying view of Hell; and she foretold the end of World War I, the promise of a second, more devastating world war, and the spread of Communism throughout the world. She also provided the Third Message, which Blessed Pope John Paul II came to believe foretold the 1981 attempt on his life.
Fatima experts call it one of the two most powerful of her apparitions – the other being the October 1917 “Miracle of the Sun,” which also included apparitions of St. Joseph and the child Jesus, in his arms, blessing the world.
“Even now there is tribulation,” Pope Benedict XVI said in discussing Fatima, “in every conceivable form, and power threatens to trample down faith. Even now, then, there is a need for the answer about which the Mother of God spoke to the children of Fatima.”
Finding Fatima is a 90-minute film that emphasizes those feelings and will encourage all who see it to take heed of Our Lady’s critical messages from Fatima. The DVD is produced in widescreen format with English narration, and includes English and Spanish subtitles.
