"Saint Therese of Lisieux:
Running Like A Giant."

In this unique 35-minute documentary, Fabrice Maze recounts the 24 years of the earthly life and the extraordinary posthumous life of St. Therese of Lisieux.  We share in the footsteps of her family, the places of her childhood and adolescence, as well as in the daily milestones of her religious life.  Produced by the Shrine at Lisieux, Office Central de Lisieux, and Seven Doc, this documentary was actually filmed in Therese's two family homes, her parish church, and her Carmel, with photographs from that time.  The scenes of Therese's life are filmed in the rooms where they happened, with the very artefacts from that time.

"Saint Therese of Lisieux: Running Like a Giant" is a superb introduction to St. Therese and a splendid resource for individuals and groups. The film is a wonderful background for reading Therese's memoir, Story of a Soul. 

The same DVD also contains a second film, The Basilica of Saint Therese of Lisieux, in which we discover the biggest religious building constructed in France in the 20th century, a symbol of the worldwide radiance of Therese.  Bonus videos about the making of both films.

You may order this film online from Seven Doc, a company in France which produces splendid documentaries about spirituality and other topics.  An international film, this DVD is universal ("all regions"), and, when you play it, you can choose English or French audio.  In the version with French audio, you may select subtitles in German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese. I recommend it highly.
