St John Bosco: Mission to love - yes, he's made it into English!
FORT COLLINS Co: 17th January 2007 -- Some of you are going to just love this - and others will hate it! Yes, the famous Flavio Insinna-as-Don Bosco film is now in English. This column has been running various reports of it finding its way into Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, mostly legally, not always, but the requests have been pouring in - why is it we can't have it in English. It seems the Jesuits have heard our prayer, even if nobody else has!
Ignatius Press (hence the Fort Collins address), one of the biggest Catholic Publishers worldwide, has done something about it. I'll give you the good oil straight from their own mouths and you, the reader, can take it from there, but special thanks to Fr Mike Mendl of New Rochelle, who spotted it and passed it on quickly.
Availability: On Back Order
Format: DVD
Code: SJBML-M
Your price: USD 24.95
Presumably you can order it by internet at the following address.
The sales blurb runs thus: Flavio Insinna gives a winning performance as John (Don) Bosco, the great priest and educator of youth 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 this childhood through 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 through in this wonderful film. Also stars Charles Dance (Gosford Park) and popular Italian singer and actress Lina Sastri. Italian with English or Spanish subtitles, or English dubbed track. Includes a 16 page collector’s booklet.
