A Woman for Our Time: St. Elizabeth of Hungary (2011)
Born into a royal family and brought into a foreign land, to discover love, raise a family and become the mother of the sick and poor of her country, Elizabeth of Hungary became a follower of St. Francis and mobilized people throughout Europe to lead the Gospel life. She still inspires us today. The feature-length documentary A Woman for Our Time tells the story of Elizabeth's life through art works, historical recreations and narration, interwoven with a chronicle of the events of the eighth centenary of her birth in 2006-2008. Her Franciscan followers tell how they became acquainted with her, what she means to them and how the celebration of her centenary has led them on a journey of rediscovery of her. This young medieval woman's social conscience, and the way she loved God in action make her truly a woman for our time.
