The Maid: Film Depicting Spanish Saint’s Fight for Women’s Rights in the 19th Century

Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day with the premiere of the inspiring film, ‘The Maid’ (La Sirvienta). Directed by Pablo Moreno and produced by Bosco Films, this film tells the story of Vicenta María López de Vicuña, the Spanish saint who founded the Religious of Mary Immaculate and fought for the rights and dignity of women in the 19th century. Despite being born into a privileged family, Vicenta María dedicated her life to helping and promoting dignified work for women, particularly in domestic service. Her legacy continues through the work of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate, who strive to empower young women and dignify domestic work across the world. Don’t miss this powerful film, premiering in theaters across Spain on March 24.
