In 1858 France, Bernadette, an adolescent peasant girl, has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the city dump. She never claims it to be anything other than this, but the townspeople all assume it to be the virgin Mary. The pompous government officials think she is nuts, and do their best to suppress the girl and her followers. The guys in charge of the church want nothing to do with the whole matter. But as Bernadette attracts wider and wider attention, the phenomenon overtakes everyone in the town, and transforms their lives. There are several lessons to be learned from this film: personal experience versus a religion the fear of the unknown the damage inflicted by those with power the hate generated by a threat to belief the beauty of innocence the individual versus the group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG9TTpj7TOQ
