This powerful film, based on the life of Chiara Lubich, the founder of the Focolare Movement, tells the dramatic story of a young teacher from Trento, Italy, who, amidst the devastation and despair of World War II bombings, was called to build a better, more united world, becoming a strong witness and advocate of universal brotherhood as a prerequisite for dialogue and peace among men. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Giacomo Campiotti (Mary of Nazareth; St. Philip Neri), it reveals a charismatic figure who chose love as the compass of life, and found her mission and purpose through the passage from the Gospel, "May they all be one."
Chiara greatly contributed to the renewal of the Church and society, becoming a light in the darkness through the work of the Focolare Movement, which continues her legacy today throughout the world, with her message of friendship and relief towards her neighbour, especially the poor and suffering, without distinction of race or religious belief. During her lifetime, she enjoyed the complete support of all Popes, and she worked closely with Pope John Paul II in particular. In Rome, her cause for sainthood has been launched.
