==========
Alejandro Monteverde, director of Cabrini and Sound of Freedom, rejects the 'faith-based' label for his films and believes labels are divisive and exclude audiences for political purposes. Monteverde was attracted to the story of Maria Francesca Cabrini, an indomitable woman who fought against racism, sexism, and xenophobia to save orphaned Italian children in New York City in 1889. He emphasizes that Mother Cabrini's mission was about human dignity and caring for those without a voice, rather than immigration. Monteverde refutes the brand of a faith-based filmmaker, stating that labels are dangerous and automatically exclude audiences. He aims to make movies for everybody and hopes that his films can create social dialogues and unite people. Monteverde praises the lead actress, Cristiana Dell'Anna, for capturing the compassion and fighting spirit of Mother Cabrini. He also discusses the challenges faced by Mother Cabrini and her ultimate battle against mortality. Monteverde expresses his hope that his film, Cabrini, will speak a universal language and reach a wide audience.
