Publisher's Synopsis
Every year thousands of pilgrims descend on Assisi, Italy, birthplace of Sts. Francis and Clare, eager to draw on the rich spiritual experience that such a pilgrimage affords. Most people, however, will never cross the ocean to visit Assisi, but still want to know more about the founding Franciscan saints and the world in which they lived.
This new film aims to make that pilgrimage experience accessible to more people. The two-hour program allows viewers to hear the stories of actual pilgrims who have come to Assisi and to visit, via video, the many places that a modern pilgrim would go to in Assisi and the surrounding region.
