The documentary "Saint Therese of Lisieux: Running Like A Giant" with English subtitles

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

In this 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.  This is an excellent introduction to St. Therese and a splendid resource for groups whose sessions don't allow the 90-minute documentary mentioned below.  The film is a good background for reading Therese's memoir, Story of a Soul.  In French with subtitles in English and other languages.

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.  A bonus DVD includes videos about the making of the two films above.

You may order this film online from Seven Doc, a company in France which produces splendid documentaries about spirituality and other topics.  I own one and have had no trouble playing it in the United States. I recommend it highly.
