Just in time for the 7th National Pilgrimage to Lipa, SM City Lipa will have a special screening of the movie, The 13th Day. This is through the efforts of the Assisi Development Foundation for the benefit of HAPAG-ASA Integrated Nutrition Program.
The movie is based on real life miraculous events in the lives of three children when they become witnesses to the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal between May – October of 1917.
With all that’s happening in our lives and in the country today, we all need something to inspire us and to keep holding on to our faith. I haven’t seen the movie but it seemed to be a moving one. Moreover, you will get to help HAPAG-ASA Integrated Nutrition Program for their worthy cause. The movie will run on SM City Lipa Cinema 1 until Sept. 14 only.
The special screening of the 13th Day movie is a fund-raising activity to help the HAPAG-ASA Integrated Nutrition Program. The core idea behind is to bring the malnourished children of the Philippines the hope of better, healthier, and nourishing food on their dining table on a sustained basis that guarantees thier survival, happiness, and fullness of life.
Here’s The 13th Day movie synopsis from the film production’s official website:
October 13th 1917, Fatima, Portugal.
FACT: Over 70,000 witnesses watched the sun spinning in the sky before plummeting towards the earth, in an extraordinary prophesised event, which became known as ‘The Miracle of the Sun’.
In a world torn apart by persecution, war and oppression, 3 children were chosen to offer a message of hope to the world.
Based on the memoirs of the oldest Seer, Lucia Santos, and many thousands of independent eye-witness accounts, The 13th Day dramatizes the TRUE story of three young shepherds who experienced six interactive apparitions with a “Lady from Heaven” between May and October 1917, which culminated into the final prophesized Miracle.
Abducted from their homes, thrown into prison and interrogated under the threat of death in the government’s attempt to silence them, the children remained true to their story.
The lady, who later revealed herself to be the Blessed Mary, gave a SECRET to the children told in three parts, from a harrowing vision of hell, to prophetic warnings of future events including the advent and timing of the Second World War, the spread of communism, and the assassination of the Pope.
All three Seers have since died. Two of them have been beatified.
Stylistically beautiful and technically innovative, writer-directors Ian & Dominic Higgins use state-of-the-art digital effects to create stunning images of the visions and the final miracle that have never before been fully realized on screen.
Shot on location in Portugal and in the UK, 13th Day Films worked with a cast of over 250 to re-create the scenes of the 70,000 strong crowds, and 3 Portuguese children play the iconic roles of the Seers.
Witness the greatest miracle of the 20th Century, and experience the incredible, emotionally-charged and often harrowing world of three young children whose choice to remain loyal to their beliefs, even in the face of death, would inspire thousands.
