DVD “Bernadette,”
produced by Bernadette’s Sisters,
the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Nevers

1850 saw the beginning of industralisation, the appearance of the steam engine, the era of Victor Hugo , Delacroix, Rossini, Marx, Nietzsche, Buffalo Bill, Guizot, Napoleon 111,
Schneider…
It was in the middle of the 19th century, that Bernadette, the eldest daughter of the Soubirous family, was born to “the sound of the stream, the creaking of the wheel,
the whispering of the corn and the noise of the millstone.”
“My father, the man with the beret covered in flour and a damned good miller showed in his expression how proud he was to be a father…”
This is how Bernadette began her narrative.

The DVD, produced by the Forges Workshop, brings to life Bernadette’s unique version
in the form of a narrative, in the first person. We become her witnesses, almost the confidantes of her spiritual adventure. The visual and sound illustration form the background to this narrative which takes us from Lourdes to Nevers.
