Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment are delighted to announce the release of the stirring and uplifting biopic, Cabrini. Following its hugely successful US release in March, and UK release in 200+ cinemas, Cabrini will be heading to Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital Download platforms on 27th May.
From the studio (Angel Studios) and director (Alejandro Monteverde) behind last summer's box office sensation Sound of Freedom, this stunning biographical epic stars Cristiana Dell’Anna (The Hand of God, Gomorrah), two-time Oscar nominee John Lithgow (Killers of the Flower Moon, The Crown), two-time Emmy nominee David Morse (The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker) and Oscar nominee Giancarlo Giannini (Quantum of Solace, Man on Fire). Cabrini was produced by Academy Award-winning Jonathan Sanger (The Elephant Man) and features an original song performed by the world renowned tenor, Andrea Bocelli.
In 1889, Italian immigrant Francesca Cabrini arrives in New York City, greeted only by disease, crime, and impoverished children. Witnessing the vast inequality of the city, Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to help society’s most vulnerable, but must first overcome the prejudices and indifference of those in power. However, despite these momentous setbacks, her broken English, and poor health, she remains determined to use her entrepreneurial mind to build an empire of hope unlike anything that the world has ever seen.
Francesca Cabrini's story of defiance in the face of adversity is an incredible reminder of how even just one person's activism can change the world.
