A second chance to see the award-winning film
This startling study of a lonely 'saint' (Sun)
The most remarkable documentary programme for a long time (Irish Times)
An absorbing documentary (The Times)

Last September a priest called Padre Pio died in a remote convent near Foggia in the South of Italy. For fifty years he had borne on his body five bleeding wounds corresponding to the five wounds of Christ. Countless people believed he worked miracles-that he cured the sick, was capable of being in two places at once, and that he had a terrifying insight into men's minds. A hundred thousand people attended his funeral; they included scientists and doctors, bishops and cardinals, as well as the local people who loved him and who had built up a thriving tourist industry during his lifetime.
Filmed in the last months of his life, this is the story of the life and death of the priest they called a saint.
This film received the first prize in the documentary category at the First International Christian Television Week at Monte Carlo
Written and narrated by Patrick O'Donovan
