Die Gesandte des Papstes

In 1889, Francesca Cabrini, an Italian nun, arrives in New York – a city shaped by immigration, poverty, and hope. As a personal envoy of the Pope, she immediately begins her mission: to help the poorest of the poor, especially orphans from immigrant families living on the margins of society. But what awaits her is more than just poverty – it is a system of indifference, prejudice, and male-dominated power structures that continually place obstacles in her path.

Yet Cabrini, unyielding in spirit, resists every form of restriction. At a time when women were condemned to silence, she raises her voice – for the sick, the orphans, and for all who are excluded from society. With her visionary strength and organizational talent, she quickly achieves her first successes – but this soon becomes a thorn in the side of New York’s most powerful men…

The emotional drama tells the true story of the Italian nun Francesca Cabrini – a pioneer who became a symbol of female empowerment and was canonized in 1938. A film about humanity, faith, justice, and the unshakable conviction that true change often comes from those least expected to bring it about.

THE POPE’S ENVOY is a stirring, moving epic for the big screen about the courage and strength of a woman who dared to dream bigger, to stand up against all resistance, and to challenge the established order at a time when women had no rights.
