 St. Clare of Assisi
This documentary reveals the
extraordinary life of a woman who reached the highest summits of Christian
mysticism, who knew how to defend her decisions alone and who built a social
reality that still challenges the centuries.
The exquisite videography explores
all of the sacred places in and around Assisi that characterize the life of
Clare and that of Francis.
The testimony of a Poor Clare in the documentary,
moreover, exemplifies the figure of Clare in today's world.

Poor Clares - a Hidden Presence
More than twenty thousand
women today follow the example of Clare of Assisi in monasteries scattered
throughout the world. The cloistered convent - a city in prayer - a hidden
presence with a love without reserve for all of humanity.
The Poor Clares present in this documentary speak of their
realization as women, mothers and sisters inside the closed walls of a monastery.
