About Mary: The Mary MacKillop Story
MARY is based on the true life story of Mary MacKillop who in the 1860s began an order of nuns to teach poor Catholic children in rural Australia. When she refused to obey the local Bishop, she was ex-communicated. More than 100 years later, in 1995, she was beatified as Australia's first saint. The film follows her tumultuous journey.
Directed by Kay Pavlou, Mary: The Mary MacKillop Story leans on a strong ensemble — Lucy Bell, Linden Wilkinson, Rebecca Scully-Webster — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1994.
