Gospa ★★½ 1994 (PG)

Based on the true story of Father Jozo Zovko (Sheen), who was put on trial for treason by the communist government in Yugoslavia in 1981 when he protected six Croatian children who repeatedly claimed that they saw visions of the Virgin Mary. Some what ponderous but wellmeaning story that also suffers from a plethora of ac cents. “Gospa” means “Our Lady” in Croatian. 121m/C VHS . Paul Guilfoyle, Martin Sheen, Michael York, Morgan Fairchild, Frank Fin lay; D: Jakov Sedlar; W: Ivan Aralica, Paul Gronseth; C: Vjekoslav Vrdoljak; M: Nona Hendryx.
