My parish usually has those EWTN television program schedule sitting out, and even though I don't have cable I grabbed one this Sunday. (Sometimes I try to catch things online.) Anyhoo -- this month and next month, EWTN will be showing "[url="http://www.sfi.se/en-gb/Swedish-film-database/Item/?itemid=62471&type=MOVIE&iv=Basic"]The Nun[/url]".

It's one hour in duration and will be airing in the U.S. on Feb. 28 at 2AM (ET) and 11PM on Sat. (PT). It's airing again in March at a more a decent time, but I left the program schedule in my mom's car yesterday.

Here's a bit of info that I could find on it:

[quote]A documentary about a young Swedish woman’s decision to devote her life entirely to God.

Completely closed to the mass media and all outsiders, the Carmelite Convent in Glumslöv in the south of Sweden granted an exception for Maud Nycander to meet and interview Marta at the end of her novitiate. Nycander has followed Marta and her family since 1996 when Marta graduated from high school and made her radical decision. The film is an extraordinary meeting with a deeply religious family.[/quote]


And from EWTN's site:

[quote]This unique documentary follows the real life story of Marta, her desire to be a nun, and the fervent Catholic family that nurtured her vocation.[/quote]


Sounds like a good film! I'm looking forward to watching it! Has anyone else seen this before? If so, what did you think?

Thank you! I checked the EWTN program schedule, but it only goes up to March 6th and only shows this scheduled for Feb 28th. Hope I can remember to check again when the March schedule is posted on the website, then I can program it on my tv so I will not forget to watch.

Thanks again - God bless!

:clap: You're welcome, Two Hearts! Can't wait to see it!

I might have to ask one of my friends with a DVR to record it for me, too... just in case I forget or fall asleep too early when it's showing! :lol:

I think this is the same one I saw last year. EWTN aired it sometime last year. It was quite good! Very interesting and devoted Catholic family.

I've always wanted a nun-smiley here, too!

I mean, we have a priest one (TWO, actually! :priest: :priest_halo: ) -- a nun/sister one would only be fair, right? :D

How did you get it so quickly?

Also - does anyone know when & what time in March it will be playing? I'm going to a youth conference as a chaperone next weekend so I won't be able to see it or record it, unless my friends time it somehow on their TIVO ...

And what is more...
the above is the television network website. They have a WebStore (webbutiken?) and here is the page
in which they OFFER this very film:
http://butiken.svt.se/system/search/product.asp?id=580

...but I don't know Swedish and the whole site is in Swedish. Good luck.

How to tell if it is US DVD compatible? And is it subtitled? Thanks! :)
