‘Cabrini’ is set for production this spring
This new movie tells a remarkable story
The remarkable and largely unknown story of Francesca Cabrini, a poor, frail, yet strong-willed woman from Italy who changed the landscape of immigration, education, and health care for generations of immigrants to the United States, is about to become a movie.
“Cabrini,” which begins production this year and will be distributed via streaming services, will be shot in New York, and directed by Alejandro Monteverde and produced by Jonathan Sanger. Backers of the film have established a 501(c)(3) that will redistribute film revenues to charitable organizations.
