Piccola opera della Divina Provvidenza,
Sons of Divine Providence, or simply, The Orionist Order, is an order of catholic priests founded by Luigi Orione in 1903.
Their main doctrine is charity work. Priests are forbidden from having material possessions, forbidden from owning wealth, the highest positions in the order are on rotation among all members, their lives dedicated heling those in need.
in 2023 the Order celebrated their 100 year Jubilee of activity in Poland. I got asked to shoot a feature length documentary summarising the history and activity of the Order in Poland.
The documentary was shot on location in the Orionist facilities - in a care house for the mentally ill, an intensive care hospice, homeless shelter and more.
The film was produced by Alex Stern LLC, directed by Alex Stern LLC, Cinematography by your’s truly.
The Order has recently made the film available on YouTube.
