Based on a true story from Chicago Public Radio’s The American Life, this is a sad testament to the dream of home ownership being out of reach for even successful person including a college professor who is knowledgeable in economics.

Cabrini – Releasing in Theaters
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 94%
When Francesca Cabrini, played by Cristiana Dell’Anna, came to New York City in 1889, she found the place to be filled with disease, crime, and urchins. What she does next is a mission to build an empire of hope starting first with the city’s mayor and housing and healthcare for the vulnerable.
It’s amazing to think that even that far into the past, the need and desire to fight for equality for the poor was being fought for, and we still have to edge out resources bit by bit today when it was even so apparent back then.
