Coverage of the Cabrini film in and around New Orleans has been outstanding. Here are some of the mentions:
"The film seamlessly weaves together themes of social justice, immigrant experiences, and resilience. (Alejandro) Monteverde skillfully balances the narrative, ensuring that the underlying themes are not only thought-provoking but also emotionally resonant. In the end, Cabrini emerges as a piece of cinematic art that offers both entertainment and substance." - Tony Asankomah, GhMovieFreak
"This movie Cabrini is a true masterpiece about a piece of history you may not ever have heard of. It is dramatic, poetic, inspirational, tragic and awe-inspiring. Not only are there incredible settings and breathtaking camera work at some of the most iconic religious places in the world, but it’s all set to a stupendous musical score. Not only is it a seat-of-your pants thriller where you’re not sure what is going to happen one scene to the next, but the acting on all fronts is picture perfect." - Mike Szymanski, DreamWeaverArts.org
"Every immigrant, every first generation American, every ethnic or religious minority and ESPECIALLY every woman, will find great inspiration in watching the film ‘Cabrini‘." - R.C. Samo, fanboynation
