"'The 13th Day' is the best film ever made about Fatima..."

... writes Steven Greydanus, "— the most beautiful and effective, as well as one of the most historically accurate. Sister Lucia's memories are imbued with an aura of reverie and contemplation by striking visuals, an effective score and a stark, simple narrative. A fact-based film that succeeds in being both artful and reverent is a rare thing. The 13th Day succeeds."

Screening dates and times for showings of The 13th Day will be announced soon. To find out more about the film, go to www.the13thdaymovie.com, which includes detailed information about the movie, free downloads, and the story of Fatima. Also visit the movie's FaceBook page.

Here's a bit about the movie, along with video clips:

In a world torn apart by persecution, war and oppression, 3 children in Fatima, Portugal were chosen by God to offer an urgent message of hope to the world. Based on the memoirs of the oldest seer, Lucia Santos, and many thousands of independent eye-witness accounts, The 13th Day dramatizes the true story of three young shepherds who experienced six apparitions of Our Lady between May and October 1917, which culminated in the final prophesied Miracle of the Sun on October 13th. Abducted from their homes, thrown into prison and interrogated under the threat of death in the government’s attempt to silence them, the children remained true to their story about the crucial messages from Mary of prayer, repentance and conversion for the world.

Our Lady gave a secret to the children told in three parts, from a harrowing vision of hell, to prophetic warnings of future events including the advent and timing of the Second World War, the spread of communism, and the attempted assassination of the Pope.

Stylistically beautiful and technically innovative, the film uses state-of-the-art digital effects to create stunning images of the visions and the final miracle that have never before been fully realized on screen. Shot on location in Portugal and in the UK, the film has a cast of hundreds to re-create the scenes of the 70,000 strong crowds, with 3 young Portuguese actors play the iconic roles of the Seers.

Witness the greatest miracle of the 20th Century, and experience the incredible, emotionally-charged and harrowing world of three young children whose choice to remain loyal to their beliefs, even in the face of death, would inspire thousands. Filmed in High Definition with Dolby Surround Sound. Stars Jane Lesley, Michael D’Cruze, Filipa Fernandes and Tarek Merlin.

Looking forward to it.

P.S. Some warning on the horrific end of that last clip would be in order.

Interesting how they say "Godless men will spread communism" when in reality Our Lady said "Russia will spread her errors.
NOT A GOOD IDEA to edit Our Lady's words for political correctness.
Also, surprising that they also seem to subscribe to the idea that the 3rd secret is describes an "attempted assassination of the Pope" which is a theory that has been so firmly discredited that it is laughable.
I certianly hope this isn't a film made to whitewash the true Fatima message a la Msgr Bertone et al.

Devotion to Our Lady of Fatima was very popular in the 1950s and 60s in the U.S., but it lost most of its enthusiasm when the Third Secret was not released by 1960 as we had been promised. The fact that Popes have know this secret for decades and refuse to release it to "The Priesthood of the Laity" demonstrates to me, at least, how rife evil is and has been in the Church.

"Also, surprising that they also seem to subscribe to the idea that the 3rd secret is describes an "attempted assassination of the Pope" which is a theory that has been so firmly discredited that it is laughable."

No, what they depict is what was described and the children's interpretation that it was the Holy Father. There is nothing here about an "attempted assassination", which was JPII's interpretation.

"And we saw in an immense light that is God: ... a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him..."

I like the trailer and some of the messages also was told to me in my dreams when I was 12 yrs old, when I went to the place of the beautiful Lady and talked to me and told me ... may ipagagawa ako sa iyo balang araw. I asked her ..Ano po iyon? and she told me...malalaman mo pagdating ng araw.
It was a very beautiful place that I will never forget in my life. And the reality or the truth.. when you accept something from heaven... you have to suffer much... and you have to be obedient and faithful to the "work" and always holding on to your faith, the faith where he revealed himself to you. You will experience His presence and He will show His face to you not only in physical things but you will know Him thru your heart. God bless to all of us and enriched our faith and continue to work in harmony with one another looking each and everyone that surrounds us with the face of Christ. Peace.
