Such an inspiring movie with so many messages and lessons...love it.

[@ChosenOne1991]

Wtf?! Her British accent is mindblowing to me. I've been watching her since Gomorrah. Shes played one of my favorite characters. Born & raised in Italy Naples. Never heard her speak english before. I thought she was gonna talk like Monica Bellucci. Her British accent is flawless.

[@duhusker4383]

She lived in London and went to Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She picked up the accent while she was there.

[@Weisz82]

Neapolitan incredible actress

[@albertocanonico4757]

Because she is from Napoli😉

[@batgurrl]

That movie clip demonstrated some excellent acting skill. Mother Cabrini was an amazing powerhouse who’s interest into helping the poor wasn’t even ‘embraced by all’. She didn’t care and only wanted to do what she felt was the right thing to do.

[@jocelynpierrard3075]

I just came back from seeing this movie. It is just so inspirational, excellent acting, great cast, and just such an eye-opening story of our history!

[@yourpetyourway]

That clip gave me goosebumps.

[@JW-uy2on]

I saw the movie last week and was very impressed! An extremely important and influential figure in US history finally getting her due recognition.

[@emilydiamond8345]

Saw this the night it opened & it got an applause @ the end. St, Cabrini knew her mission & was relentless in her pursuit of making the world a better place, particularly for children & women. This actress was excellent in her portrayal. The movie is great & remains relevant today. I am glad they told her story in film.

[@ncastro1900]

I remember going regularly with my mom to her shrine and we were not Italian. My mother always prayed to her . No one mentioned her struggles,which surprised me.

[@marleneg9729]

Ladies, It was her faith that helped her to stand up.

[@lilitalia777]

Amen! 🙌 Jesus is the source of my strength.. the only reason I'm even still here!

[@duhusker4383]

I can't believe none of them asked her why she has a London accent her being Italian born and bred and all.

[@markopalikko6986]

I absolutely loved that movie and her acting.

[@debbieshadle214]

I went to this movie and was impressed with all of the acting and the story of the woman with such unwavering faith that all she needed to care for God’s children would be provided. I am so grateful The view did this segment promoting Cabrini ❤

[@reddscarolynr8577]

Good segment. Very interesting story. Amazing! Sunny - keep up the good work.....

[@Rem12753]

I love how Joy opened up with the history and then acknowledged how Italian people don’t face that discrimination anymore and we’re accept and now others are the subject to that hate and how we can change that. As a first generation latina myself I love that.

[@Rodnoc88]

She is the proof that good actors exists also outside Hollywood. Brav Patrì

[@alydarling]

She did an amazing job ❤

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Cristiana was amazing in her Role. She's so beautiful, inside and out ❤

[@annamariasabatino9399]

Love this movie!! Saint Cabrini❤❤❤

[@zoickn]

The only Christian movie that has no Jesus name in it but yet showed so much strenght in Christianity. My friends of all races and religion watched it and love it to the max. Even my Muslim friends. Absolutely love it.

[@debraallender7444]

I love Joy's perspective and bringing it to our current issues.

[@t-talk-time3582]

Joy is exactly who she is in person, outside of cameras as she shows us and other good people like you that recognize humanity. She’s attended many social cause events and mutual friend’s weddings so I van attest to her ball busting humor. She has more energy than most of my fellow younger friends. She truly cares to do her part for our country. Only a maga nut job would be blind to they and Trump’s con games.

[@MatthewsFav]

Joy, my ancestors from Ireland were treated poorly too. It was not just Italians who were treated poorly.

[@PhantonicGaming]

Joy never said JUST Italians were treated poorly, but that they were treated poorly; which in itself is an understatement. That doesn't take away from any other group that has struggled in this country. Instead highlighting the Italian struggle in particular because that was in relation to the topic of conversation. Every group of people that has faced discrimination in one form or another could of course raise their hands and go me too! We were treated poorly also, but there is nothing wrong with speaking of an individual experience in this country.

[@beverlypratt4008]

Yes. Don't forget the blacks. We are still trying to integrate. Lol 😅

[@Foxie770]

Exactly. Jewish immigrants, Japanese, etc. that’s life.

[@christopherhenze5794]

I've seen Cabrini, it's a great film. Go see it!

[@abevillanueva1974]

Mother Theresa's role model! +++ The Church has a HISTORY of women of faith that sets the example of what God wants us to do. Joy...they're not vilifying immigrants today...it is about just letting 'em in without vetting and checking especially of how the world is today. Cristiana deserves at least an Oscar nomination.

[@mslolalucky]

Joy needs to get her facts straight before she yaps. Plenty of northern Italians came to North America and they were all treated badly. My in-laws would tell us stories about the way they were treated and many times thought of going back to Italy but they found the strength and courage to stay and make a life in America.

[@mslolalucky]

And may I add legally.

[@cg8397]

Could you please explain why your family never returned to Italy even after they made 💰? Italy currently has a population crisis due to falling birth rates ( not enough workers, etc.) and the government would like the Italian diaspora to come home.

[@theMMlalaland]

This stereotypical belief that Black people and Italians made better labourers because they could withstand certain climate conditions was the excuse used to deny their humanity... it is the same reason that Black women die at such high rates in our medical institutions because there is the belief that we can endure more pain... the reasons Italians were mistreated were they were Catholic... they weren't considered white because they were not Anglo Saxon Protestants... they were darker than other immigrants... so if you were an immigrant the closer you were to what was considered whiteness the better you were treated.

[@xKarenWalkerx]

That's not necessarily true. Jewish people were among (and still are) some of the most vilified and persecuted ethnic minorities in world history. They are white and very often blonde and blue eyed and the avg person wouldn't be able to tell if it's Protestant white or a Jewish person. It's also because they assimilate more than any other minority did. Irish people also did the same blue collar work Italians, blacks, Mexicans did (do). Also Asians can be white skinned and still treated horribly and forced into camps. There is also emerging data that minorities who assimilate more might work against them. It can explain why racism for blacks vs almost none for Mexicans. Blacks do adopt an Anglo culture and religion (Protestantism).

[@carnivorepolice5-0]

​@xKarenWalkerx Irish people where treated like kings and queens.

[@Gianluca-]

Darker than other immigrants who?? Sicilians maybe, north and central Italians were deemed as belonging to Celtic race. Quit with this misinformation on whole Italians . Thanks.

[@Gianluca-]

@@xKarenWalkerx LULZ, Jews are not fairer than Central and North Italians and most of the Central and North Italians can easily pass among wasps. Italy is not just Naples and Sicily , know that.

[@theMMlalaland]

@@Gianluca- but the majority of Italians that immigrated to the USA were from Southern Italy & I live in central Italy and in the Summer most Italians here are darker than me... & to this day in many parts of Europe Italians do suffer some form of discrimination... & we know this. & you've just proven my point even the hint of darkness repulses you... LORD HAVE MERCY. GOD BLESS you.

[@KathiToroWright]

This was a fantastic movie

[@RaloMante]

What a powerful scene!

[@critterkarma]

Even as a nun, she had to combat/ skirt around the male hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

[@IamhereAndyN]

I cannot wait to see her act as the librarian in the upcoming movie "The Panic." She also plays a great woman associated with JP Morgan's family.

[@mariatatianacrespo3726]

I love Joyce and all of these ladies in the latest cast assemble. Thank you for reminding us all about the present mistreatment of immigrants. And perhaps something is not said enough, old immigrants mistreat the new immigrants as well. Why do we have such short memory... what is school doing to help us remember, what is the media doing as well?

[@LawrenceGottlieb]

Mother Cabrini stood up for immigrants, and humanity. Must've voted blue

[@bigboss9756]

America can't even take care of it's own citizens that are sick, poor and disabled. How about some other countries in the world take a share of the load.

Immigrants will always be looked down, even now. Discrimination is in our DNA. C.D. is a wonderful actor. During the movie, I thought that is the real Mother Cabrini. Maybe Mother came down to help her to act so great. Oscar???

Yeah Italians got invite and joined the "Protection for the complexion of white collection " they graduated from White adjacency to being white itself. Something a lot Latinos are hoping will happen. Just saying , let's keep it 💯😊

[@Jason-bz6uw]

Many Latinos are already there. They despise their own sun kissed brothers and sisters. Legally, many are "white".

[@hebasamuel1843]

Sad that God is mentioned very little

[@scp-507]

I thought you were the type to say that the evidence for God is “looking around you and seeing everything he created” whenever asked for any proof. By your logic, wouldn’t showing all of god’s creation on film technically be mentioning him?

Italians weren't considered white back then ... but when other came that were more ''not white'', the newcomers were the new opressed ...

[@Audrey-p7i]

This show is using a movie about the Catholic Faith as a political football. That is so sad religious.

[@ianfrazel8797]

They were legal immigrants - not illegals immigrants. Secondly, the story is about faith, not gender.

[@Judie-td5qs]

THIS^^^ Yes! There is NO comparison.

[@LR-mh8hs]

They just hopped on a boat and came without any papers. They were legal only because they were not turned back to Europe upon arrival. Also, Mexicans are just coming back to the land that the US STOLE from them in the 1800s.
