Heart of a Servant: The Father Flanagan Story

I grew up knowing about Fr. Flanigan and Boys Town. I saw the movie Boys Town on TV when I was about 4. But this was no dry documentary telling us things we already knew. This piece was lovingly created by people who took the time to find out who he truly was. To go to the town where he was born. To interview people who knew him or had connections to him. The creators wove and blended his story with words and pictures that left me feeling that I knew him. This man and all he stood for. This is how I was raised to be a good American. I would like every American to see this. To remind us of who we were, who we are, and who we can be. I did not know what to expect seeing this film, but I did not expect this.

It was extremely inspiring to see how Fr. Flanigan stepped out in faith and made such a change in the lives of so many youths!

There is a very moving scene where a man shares how "Boy's Town" affected his life and how he bonded with others there because of their mutual experience of prior suffering. What a great way to show how God brings good out of everything-even our deepest pains!

This film also explores the power of praying together as they were out of food and petitioned the Lord and witnessed His miracles. It's a great reminder of how we are called to participate in God's plan which brings Him glory!

Fr. Flanigan didn't believe in bad boys, he believed in boys who needed love and a good example. He shows us how we should all see each other through the eyes of God and welcome all!

I can't recommend this film enough!

Father Edward J. Flanagan is perhaps best known as the founder of Boys Town and for being portrayed by Spencer Tracy in the 1938 Oscar-winning Boys Town film.

The Heart of a Servant: The Story of Father Flanagan brought to life once again by Rob Kaczmark, the President & CEO at Spirit Juice Studios is a must see...They do the story and the legacy of the man justice!....America needs heroes and Father Flanagan was just that, a hero

Also worth noting, keep an eye on Spirit Juice Studio.. They are putting out high quality content...America has gotten too used to "cheesy" Christian productions..... Spirit Juice breaks the mold......First-Class all the way!

What an inspiring witness for all people who have it in their heart to serve others. Father Flanagan's life is a great example of what the Christian life is all about.

This is a compelling story of a man who glorifies God through self sacrificing service to others, which is the true definition of love.

This is a top notch documentary film that all people should see. Extremely well made!

This is a great film to ask your parish to do a screening of. Father Flanagan's story will help all people to acknowledge that there is a much deeper meaning to our lives. That to know love and serve God is our highest calling!

I had heard of Father Flanagan and knew a little bit about the work he did. After watching Heart of a Servant I came to know Fr. Flanagan even better and learned things I never knew about him. This movie did an incredible job of sharing the real story of Fr. Flanagan and shared beautiful details of his life that many didn't know before watching this movie. The filmmakers truly dug into his life and created a beautiful movie honoring this incredible man of God. I was left inspired after watching this film and I felt like I got to know him better through those who knew him. Fr. Flanagan, pray for us.
