Don Bosco : l'apôtre de la jeunesse

Born on August 16, 1815 near Turin, Don Bosco left behind two magnificent works upon his death in 1888: The Society of Salesians and the Sisters of Mary Help of Christians, within which today 18,000 religious, almost as many nuns, and a considerable number of lay people are mobilized in the service of young people. This fascinating program retraces the exceptional life of Saint John Bosco, the "missionary of God," rightly called "the apostle of youth," and who was undoubtedly one of the greatest miracle workers of the 19th century. Perhaps the greatest. A life of profound piety and self-giving in a feverish Piedmont on the eve of Italian unity. The life of an astonishing precursor, an educator with modern pedagogical ideas based on mutual affection and respect. The opportunity to walk in the footsteps of a great saint whose halo sparkles in the highest heavens. Like a light. Like a child's smile. Director: Armand Isnard
