"The film that wins the Golden Palm is a film that not only reflects mastery of the filmmaking art, but of storytelling and humanity, whether it is fiction or nonfiction in nature.  The winner, in short, is the film that grabs us by body and mind, and it never lets go.”

- Beverly Hills Film Festival

About the Film

THE FILM

In Buenos Aires at the age of 16, Pedro Opeka declined an opportunity to become a professional soccer player so he could continue his studies to be a priest and help the poorest people in the world.

 

The son of a bricklayer, he convinced families living in Madagascar's largest landfill that he could teach them how to build their own houses and, in the process, build their dignity.

 

After 30 years of construction, fighting increasing poverty and political instability, Father Pedro has created a highly functional city within this failing African country.

His mission is to prepare the children he saves to one day save their own country.


Nicknamed “Mother Teresa with Pants” and “The Insurgent of Madagascar”, Father Pedro has been nominated multiple times for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Watch as this forceful Argentine priest fights poverty and politics to bring dignity and hope to the poorest people of Madagascar.
