Click film to view. At the height of the Great Depression, the showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover a man without limbs at a carnival sideshow, but after an intriguing encounter with the showman he becomes driven to hope against everything he has ever believed. Starring Eduardo Verástegui (Bella), Doug Jones (Pans Labyrinth, Fantastic Four) and featuring the debut performance of Nick Vujicic.
TOPICS: Catholic; Moral Issues
KEYWORDS: bella; butterflycircus; dougjones; eduardoverstegui; hope; movies; nickvujicic; prolife
I originally found out about this movie through "Reflections of a Paralytic" at
this link. As noted above the movie stars Eduardo Verastegui from
Bella, Doug Jones, and Nick Vujicic (
Life Without Limbs).
If you have the time (20 minutes), this is a great movie to view on hope; if not, bookmark it for later. You'll be glad you did.:)

Accurate comment! My daughter loved The Butterfly Circus, stating there are so many great films out there (she's in a film class at college) that she feels a little foolish going to most movies made nowadays.
