When EWTN director James Kelty produced a film about the first Native American saint Kateri Tekakwitha, he didn't know that it would be recognized at one of the largest Catholic film festivals in the world.
The 2015 film "Kateri" was awarded the Capax Dei Foundation Award at the seventh-annual Mirabile Dictus film festival in Rome, Italy last week.
"I am very grateful to have received the Capax Dei award – it means 'space for God.' I think that says it all," Kelty told CNA.
"It's a recognition of all our work, and we knew it was a success, but it's nice to get an acknowledgment. And this is for all the people who worked so hard on the film."
