Two boys intrigued and united by the strength of friendship and faith embark on a journey in search of Padre Pio – a Holy Friar from Southern Italy – and his miracles.
The two boys travel the country with their bicycles and begin their research by interviewing those who have known Padre Pio – real witnesses of his miracles, charisms, extraordinary gifts and his sufferings.
The story is now a film from Aladino Productions called “We’ll Rise at Dawn,” set to premiere in the Philadelphia area on Thursday, March 12.
There will be an introduction at 6:30 p.m., and the film will start at 7 p.m., at Ambler Theatre, 108 E. Butler Ave., Ambler.
