Directed by a team of filmmakers at Salt + Light, the documentary features interviews and footage filmed in Quebec, New Hampshire, Indiana, Oregon and Rome. Interviews include those in the religious order who continue André's legacy.[2]
On October 17, 2010, Br. André became the first Canadian-born male saint. The majority of God's Doorkeeper premiered on Salt + Light television two days earlier in anticipation of André's canonization.[3] Footage of the canonization itself was shot and included in the final version of the film.[4]
Content summaryedit
On January 6, 1937, the death of a humble doorkeeper drew over a million people to Montreal. For 40 years, Brother André Bessette of the Congregation of Holy Cross welcomed people at the door and became known as a miraculous healer. God's Doorkeeper looks at the heart and legacy of Brother André - as a man of prayer, hospitality, and of compassion.
This documentary includes commentary from people who knew Br. André and continue his work today; interviews from Montreal, Rome, and different parts of the United States; reflection from Fr. Tom Rosica, CSB, on the perennial relevance of Br. André; and footage of the events of Br. André's road to sainthood (beatification, canonization, and special celebrations in Rome and Montreal).
