Mother Teresa and Me Film Pt 1
My guests in the interview segment this weekend are Swiss-Indian filmmaker and producer, Kamal Musale and co-producer and actress Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz who portrays Mother Teresa in the film “Mother Teresa And Me.” I also talk to Thierry Cagianut, head of the Zariya Foundation, created in 2010 on the occasion of Mother Teresa’s birth centenary to raise funds for the making of the movie and whose aim now is to alleviate the suffering of the poor, abandoned, sick and dying. As the film’s website says, “This is a story about love and compassion inspired by the life of Mother Teresa, a story about Teresa and Kavita: two women’s lives – passionate and uncompromising – woven over generations by two intertwined stories. Both women achieve their vocation in spite of serious personal doubts.” It is truly a riveting story about life and death, dignity and deprivation, and is due to premiere in the United States in early fall.
