Mother Teresa

Décadas após sua prematura morte, a princesa Diana ainda evoca o mistério, glamour e o conto de fadas moderno por excelência e que não teve um final feliz. Filmado integramente a partir de imagens de arquivo.

This poignant portrait is highlighted by talks with those who knew and worked with Mother Teresa -- unknowns to famed leaders. For more than 50 years, Mother Teresa dedicated herself to work on behalf of God's will, in her own feelings. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, which included 3,000 members working in 25 countries. A Nobel Peace Prize winner, this admirable woman remained humble until her death in 1997.

Christopher Hitchens investigates whether Mother Teresa of Calcutta deserves her saintly image. He probes her campaigns against contraception and abortion and her questionable relationships with right-wing political leaders.

We follow the daily activities of Mother Teresa and her nuns, in service to the poor of India and the world. Mother Teresa attends to the basic needs of her nuns and the poor, while at the same time, balances her role as world-recognized leader. Throughout the film, we witness personal and "behind-the-scenes" events, including the blessing ceremony of a nun becoming part of Mother Teresa's "Sisters of the Poor" convent.
