Recently released by EWTN the DVD of The Inquisition series from their religious Religious Catalogue, $20 from EWTN USA and £12.95 from St Clare Media - EWTN UK
The series will be premiered by EWTN in October of 2016 and is a four episode docudrama. It was filmed across Europe in 2015 and was completed in early 2016. It is perhaps our most ambitious yet with live action drama sequences performed by professional and semi-professional actors and re-enactors. Special thanks to assistant director Tony Plumridge and costume designer Ellen Plumridge at Triptych Productions, and production coordinator David Benjamin at the "Crusade" re-enactment group for providing the live action sequences. This is a co-production between EWTN and Lux Communication.

Since I last posted on the Fatima project a lot has
happened. We have had two filming sessions in Fatima with Casa do Povo the
local folk group who are providing authentic actors and sites etc. We also
filmed in a London studio with a young Catholic actress Rachel Clifford playing
Our Lady of Fatima and a young Catholic actor Liam Driver playing the Angel of
Peace.

Merseyside choir to
produce soundtrack for "The Message of Fatima" mini-series
My latest film "The Message of Fatima" soundtrack
of which is being produced by a local Merseyside choir at the ICKSP's
"Dome of Home" church in New Brighton. This will be largely original
music compose especially for the production by an English composer Adam Tucker.
Both by last two docudramas "The Crusades" and "The
Inquisition" also had original especially composed and recorded
soundtracks, however these were by Slovak composers.
This is an unofficial trailer that EWTN are allowing me to publish to coincide with interviews and requests for information on the project.
The series will be premiered by EWTN on 26th-29th October 2016, 8:30pm ET in the USA and 27/28 in the UK and Ireland at 9:30pm and is a four episode docudrama.

We are now
working on a new docudrama for EWTN which will be broadcast to coincide with
the one-hundredth anniversary of the apparitions during 1917. It's a very ambitious
task with 5 episodes + a one off special.
Also we are very happy to be working with a local Fatima Folk group called Casa do Povo who will provide the actors. Below is a shot of the actors who will play the seers.

Apparitions
of Our Lady and Angels are very rare and when they do appear its usually at a
time of great danger. The twentieth century as a whole was a time of great calamity
and destruction. It is clear that apparitions of Our Lady were warnings for
humanity, she said that the war (World War I) would soon end but that an even
greater one would break out in the reign of Pope Pius XI if man did not stop
offending God. The prophecies of Fatima seem to cover all the calamitous events
for the following 100 years, wars, Communism, impurity etc. I wonder whether
there is yet something even more terrible to happen, perhaps to coincide with
the centenary?
These
apparitions are known as private revelations but the Church has ruled that they
are authentic. It's up to us to live our faith and believe. Public revelation
of course comes to us through the Old and New Testament, and the deposit of
faith in Tradition via Catholic Church.
I hope
this docudrama will help a little in task of bringing Our Lady's message to as
many people as possible. Especially the First Five Saturdays devotion which is
being ignored by so many Catholics. The message of Fatima is very relevant
today, with so many blasphemies being committed against Our Lord and against
the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady said to Jacinta that more people go to
Hell for sins of impurity than for any other reason. The modern media, TV, film
and the Internet is jam-packed with impurity. I need your prayers for this
project; so please if you find a spare second or two remember me, here is angel's
prayer from the apparitions at Fatima in 1916.
"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I
love you!
I
beg pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and
do not love You."
