Overview
LOURDES, a small village where the Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl about 150 years ago. Still today LOURDES is more alive than ever. And Our Lady remains active and attentive to each of her children. About 6 million people visit it every year. After the pandemic, her devotion is increasing. The multitudinous processions of people seeking a miracle feed a small army of caregivers (nurses, volunteers, hospitalists) who accompany them. These pilgrims are an amazing display of humanity: accident victims, the terminally ill, an overweight teenager being bullied at school, a group of prostitutes and trans people from Paris, etc. LOURDES is an insightful meditation on the human capacity for empathy and hope, and especially a journey into the mystery of religious faith in the face of life's profound tribulations.

Featured Comments/Tips
A celebration of faith. At least, faith when it is all that remains. The mystery of Lourdes shown in detail. There are no judgments. But this group of people trying to find meaning in their lives, some with an expiration date, is respectable. There are moving moments, even if you are not Catholic. It is a carefully filmed documentary that offers a complex vision of religion.
This documentary will make you disbelieve in God but believe in mankind. It's hard to watch all the human suffering and the directing, while often captivating, relies (too?) heavily on slo-mo close-ups.
