CABRINI: The Film's Producer Vowed Only to Make Films Which Honor God

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
