the true story of the shepherd
children who were visited by the
Virgin Mary in 1917, culminating
in the famous Miracle of the Sun.
Writer-directors Ian and Dominic
Higgins use state-of-the-art effects to create the famous
visions and final miracle in a way that has never before
been realized on screen. Widescreen format. English with
optional English & Spanish subtitles. Many special features.
“The 13th Day is the best film ever made about Fatima.”
