Overview

Later life of St. John Baptist de la Salle, starting with his founding of schools, through the end of his life, showing his difficulties and persecutions.

Review

The movie was generally inspiring and enjoyable.

Caveats

It’s generally okay for children, except:

  • Scene with hanged men on trees (1:06:00)
  • Destruction of school (from 0:48:00 to 0:49:00)

Also, I cannot yet attest to the accuracy of it, since I know very little about his actual life.
