In the Angel Studios' Pre-Watch Guide and Post-Watch Guide, students will learn the history of Italy and New York during the turn of the 20th century, the characters and content of the film, basic elements of film, three social reformation movements of the time (Child Labor, Women's Suffrage and Immigrant Living Conditions), and the music of the time. There are introspective questions to guide students to see themselves in the characters and think about how Cabrini and the film influenced them. They will learn through question-lead discussions, photograph study, reading, writing a historical essay, writing their own film review, optional journal writing, optional soundtrack listening and optional research topics.
After completing the Pre-Watch Guide, students will attend a viewing of Alejandro Monteverde's major motion picture, Cabrini.* They will see the vivacious woman that no one thought capable, cast aside her own comfort to help save a generation of Italian immigrant orphans, eventually creating an Empire of Hope that spanned the world-and with your help, inspire another generation to build their own Empires of Hope.
