“In the film we see extraordinary cases. One of a woman kidnapped by Boko Haram, the Nigerian terrorists. She was about to have her throat cut and her son was thrown into the river. In the last moments she was praying the rosary when the people told her that they were going to lead her to her death.”

The documentary was the idea of Poles Mariusz Pilis and Dariusz Walusiak, who were shocked by a picture of a wounded soldier in Afghanistan. With a bloody hand he raised a rosary.

“This film explains to people that at any moment, in any circumstance of life, day by day, the Blessed Mother accompanies us and helps us. If we pray, we will contribute to the things she decides. And the ideal prayer is indeed the holy rosary.”

The documentary was a box office success in Poland, where more than 100,000 people saw it. Now they hope to double that number this year in Spain, and in Latin America in 2019.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
