Movie Description The two programs collected here take a fascinating in-depth look at both the historical figure of St. Clare of Assisi, and at her lasting legacy in the form of today's Poor Clares. The first documentary, ST. CLARE OF ASSISI, examines the amazing life and testimony of this influential Christian mystic, with stunning on-location photography at the sacred spaces of Assisi, which shaped the experiences of both Clare and Francis. And the 30-minute POOR CLARES: A HIDDEN PRESENCE provides a rare glimpse inside the lives of some of the 20,000 women who make up the Poor Clares, who follow the saint's inspirational example in cloistered convents all over the world.
