Two Crowns
The Extraordinary Life Of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe
Two Crowns features previously unknown facts about the life of St. Maximilian Kolbe– from his childhood through his heroic decision to sacrifice his own life to save a fellow prisoner at Auschwitz. The movie brings to life an unusual man who gave his life to save the lives of others, a visionary who overcame human limitations. His courage, faith, and firm belief in Mary, the Immaculate Conception, made him exceptional.
The docudrama flows between scenes from the saint’s life– depicted by great Polish actors– and documentary-style interviews with various experts on St. Maximilian. Included is the testimony of Kazimierz Piechowski, who met Fr. Maximilian during his time as a prisoner in Auschwitz, and was spiritually impacted throughout his life by the future saint’s words.
DVD duration is 85 minutes.
