Do you know about St. John Henry Newman?
Did you know that, thanks to him, thousands of people found their way to the Catholic Church? The story of Cardinal John Henry Newman, one of the most influential figures of modern Catholicism, is being brought to the screen in an exciting new documentary produced by Lumine, a Brazilian Catholic media company dedicated to spreading the faith through films, books, and formative content.
Directed by Gustavo Leite, known for his commitment to Catholic cinema and previous work with Lumine, this production promises to move and inspire believers around the world. The documentary, which will premiere this fall in English with Portuguese subtitles, will highlight the most significant moments of Cardinal Newman’s life—from his conversion from Anglicanism to his legacy as a thinker, theologian, and modern saint.
The film crew has already begun their spiritual journey, visiting historic locations such as Oxford, Birmingham, Dublin, and Rome, capturing not only the historical landscapes but also the profound impact Newman left on the Church and the souls he touched with his testimony of faith and pursuit of truth.
