Synopsis

As three children play in a meadowland near Fatima, they see a vision, a woman in a cloud of light who brings prophesies and words of faith. Local officials hear of the vision and threaten the children with torture if they don't recant. But the youthful believers cling to their convictions, inspiring the faith of the community.. and far beyond. Seventy thousand people pour into Fatima after the children report the vision will perform a miracle. A beautiful, breathtaking tale in the tradition of Song of Bernadette and Keys to the Kingdom,The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima is a glorious tribute to the triumph of human faith - and a memorable movie recreation of events which changed the world.
