Saint John Bosco, Mission to Love, DVD

Mission to Love

The Story of the Apostle of Youth

Flavio Insinna gives a winning performance as John (Don) Bosco, the great priest and educator from the tough streets of Turin, Italy. Beautifully filmed in Italy, this epic movie dramatizes the many challenges that Don Bosco had to overcome from his childhood though founding his religious order, the Salesians, for helping educate boys. Growing up without a father gave him compassion for the many orphans that he cared for, while he faced persecution from both secular society and the Church as he fought to build a place to house and educate the homeless, outcast youth of Turin. His deep faith, creative imagination and profound charity shine though in this wonderful film. Also stars Charles Dance as the antagonistic Prefect Clementi, popular Italian singer and actress Lina Sastri as Don Bosco's beloved mother, Mama Margaret, and Lewis Crutch as Dominic Savio.
