About Fatima:
In 1917, outside the parish of Fátima,
Portugal, a 10-year-old girl and her two younger cousins witness
multiple visitations of the Virgin Mary, who tells them that only
prayer and suffering will bring an end to World War I. As
secularist government officials and Church leaders try to force the
children to recant their story, word of the sighting spreads across
the country, inspiring religious pilgrims to flock to the site in
hopes of witnessing a miracle. What they experience will transform
their quiet lives and bring the attention of a world yearning for
peace. Based on real-life events and starring Joaquim de Almeida
(“Queen of the South”), Goran Višnjić (Beginners), Stephanie Gil
(Terminator: Dark Fate) and Lúcia Moniz (Love, Actually), with
Sônia Braga (Aquarius) and Harvey Keitel (The Piano, The Irishman),
Fatima is an uplifting story about the power of faith.
