Gospa

Gospa is the magnificent true story of Fr. Jozo Zovko, a franciscan priest in Bosnia, Herzegovina who was tortured by the Communists for refusing to abandon his people Gospa, which means "Our Lady" in Croatian, unfolds in Medjugorje in 1981, where six children insist the Blessed Virgin Mary appears to them on a hillside. In a few short days, the village awakens not only to growing crowds eager to join the children and pray in simple faith, but also to police armed with dogs and determined to break up the multitudes of people. Military leaders force the humble parish priest to a showdown equivalent to the classic line: "This town isn't big enough for the both of us." --- from tape's slipcase
