Lourdes: Pilgrimage and Healing (2006)

Documentary. Lourdes: Pilgrimage and Healing is a basic documentary about Bernadette of Lourdes and the Marian shrine at Lourdes. Catholics will be gently moved by seeing the rivers of pilgrims in procession -- millions attend this best-known Marian shrine annually, according to the film and Wikipedia -- but hearing dozens of pilgrims speak about their spiritual experiences may produce the greatest impression to anyone with a listening ear. As one pilgrim said, assisting and identifying with the sick and infirm is itself a spiritual healing. This film is low-key and feels dated but its straightforward message moved me to begin to learn more. 3 stars.
