"Heart of a Servant: The Father Flanagan Story:" A sit-down with the filmmakers
Published October 2
Many are familiar with the story of Father Edward J. Flanagan from the 1938 Oscar-winning film “Boys Town” starring Spencer Tracy. Now a new documentary on the famous priest promises a deeper look into Flanagan’s life when it hits theaters for one night only on Oct. 8.
“Heart of a Servant: The Father Flanagan Story” documents Flanagan’s unwavering commitment to caring for abandoned and orphaned youth starting from the Great Depression to after World War II, all while defying racist laws in order to serve the most vulnerable and give them hope for a future. The film covers a range of topics, from Flanagan’s health issues to his immigrating to the United States to his founding of Boys Town, Nebraska.
The feature-length documentary was produced by Spirit Juice Studios in partnership with the Father Flanagan League and is narrated by popular Catholic actor Jonathan Roumie, known for his role as Jesus Christ in “The Chosen.”
CNA sat down with Spirit Juice Studios at the premiere of the new film in Boys Town, Nebraska.
