Set against the gritty backdrop of 1890s New York, “Cabrini” chronicles the unbelievable true story of a poor but resilient woman who, against every conceivable obstacle, toppled a corrupt system to build an empire greater than those of Rockefeller and Carnegie, not for power or profit, but to provide sanctuary for the city’s most vulnerable.
 
In the volatile underworld of 1890s New York City, where darkened alleys crawl with menacing gangs, ruthless slum lords, and Predators of the night, an impoverished immigrant from Italy faced down the city’s most dangerous criminals, corrupt politicians, and oppressive elite, to shatter deep-seated prejudices and to protect children languishing in the perilous streets of 19th-century New York City.

Beautifully shot across the awe-inspiring vistas of the U.S. and Italy,  and serenaded by a soul-stirring score from the legendary Andrea Bocelli, “Cabrini” is a major motion picture that boasts extraordinary performances, breathtaking cinematography, and a narrative that leaves no heart untouched and no spirit unlifted. Cristiana Dell’Anna and John Lithgow deliver electrifying performances, immersing viewers into the cutthroat and treacherous world of late 19th century New York – where the boundary between good and evil was razor thin.

Written and directed by Monteverde, “Cabrini” transcends mere storytelling. It captures hearts, lifts spirits, and serves as a powerful testament to how one person, armed with unyielding belief, can change the lives of millions and rewrite the course of history. “This story embodies a woman’s indomitable courage against colossal adversity, to defy the most powerful to create a sanctuary for the most powerless,” explained Monteverde.

So, brace yourselves for an emotional odyssey that doesn’t just tug at the heartstrings but sets them on fire. In Monteverde’s own words, “Cabrini is a tribute to resilience, a testament to the human spirit, and hopefully, an inspiration to all of us to use our time on this earth to make the world a better place for others.”
