Unfortunately, the movie was so dull that in the mist of all my yawning, I must have missed the "based on a true story" line. Again, your comment is appreciated.

Mother Henriette Delille, a free Creole of color who became a nun and founded the order of nuns, "Sisters of the Holy Family". I'm just wandering whether or not you knew this was a true story especially considering your comments about the "religious elements". Though I think I might, mildly, agree on you with the choice of casting of this film, I have to include that the purpose of the movie was not to demonstrate the "realities of slavery" but rather to focus on the life of a woman who we, in the Creole community, cherish and hold dear to our hearts. This movie only briefly describes and gives an account of only a FEW things that this woman went through on her journey. It hardly does her justice as many autobiographies do (i.e. The Rosa Parks' Story...GOD I loved that one too but hardly does the womant justice.)but it's good enough to get the point across. It's focus was not that of plâcage, or slavery, but more intimately, her experience with them.
