05/20/2016 Full of inaccuracies and falsehoods about a monster not a hero. See more 05/22/2009 what a great story of love and compassion , we can all learn something from her . See more 04/11/2008 shows you what having faith in God means...This movie shows you why Mother Teresa is an inspiration! Also re-inspired my dream of doing my part to save the world! See more 03/28/2008 It would have been hard to mess this documentary up and to the filmmakers credit, they didn't. What was really nice were the human touches put on the film. Like the scene where some guy wants Mother Teresa to take his picture and she is so utterly bewildered by how to work the camera. I want to do some good deeds now. See more Read all reviews
