Your Testimonies
The experience of being a host has really been the refresh I needed for my faith. (…) During the half hour delay many people who I did know found their way to the theater, and we made friends with the people we didn’t know, and we invited everyone to a birthday party we had already planned at our house that evening. It was amazing and now we have wonderful new friends! (…) My husband and I both commented how joyful and full of hope we felt as we left the theater.

We just got back from our showing. We were split between 2 (smaller) theaters, and both were packed. Everyone was deeply moved, a few were stunned (“it was like a real movie! Not one of those kinda bad Christian ones.”) and many people stayed afterwards and chatted. Everyone on the Triumph of the Heart team, you have created something remarkable. This film will touch hearts far into the future.
- Greg Johnson
We all cried and stayed after movie to just see each other and talk. Movie was out of this world. It broke my heart into pieces. Hearing a songs sang with such pride and strength in Polish brought me to tears. It transferred me back to my beautiful Poland where my heart still is.
- Agnieszka Siczek
Seeing it on the big screen (instead of my laptop, where I first watched it for a review) was such a powerful experience. The people we talked to after our screening generally seemed pretty floored by it. One friend on his Substack described it as “a masterpiece not to be missed…one of those rare movies that changes you.” And my wife has been really affected by it and has been pondering it in the days since. All that to say, thank you. Know that your work is not in vain and is transforming hearts, turning them toward the good and true and beautiful!
- Matthew Becklo
Triumph of the Heart was a masterpiece proclaiming that friendship with God and his powerful Mother, the Mediatrix, should be the true aim of the human heart. (…) The crowd was overwhelmed at the beauty, riveting performances, and the portrayal of the Blessed Virgin Mary was the best we’ve ever seen in a Catholic movie.
- Cecilia Tombelli
Our crowd in The Woodlands TX absolutely loved it. Strong applause at the end and many stuck around in the lobby for nearly an hour raving about it and sharing stories about how they were moved. A couple of our seminarians made it as well!
- Zac Lowder
It was a beautiful movie, our 2 showings went smoothly. The movie is a great reminder that we are all called to Sainthood. God Bless Triumph of the Heart. It’s a victory!!
- Winnie Magdangal

Please take a picture of your event when people are sitting down to watch the movie and send it to us.

You are paying a licensing fee to screen the movie to your audience!
Included in your purchase is the license to play the movie for a specific audience size and a unique link for you to screen the movie on a specific date. Not included: venue, ticketing platform, tech, tech support. Any additional fees must be paid for by you.
-
Any screening of a movie shown outside a person’s home (for personal use) is required to have public performance/screening license.
-
You can wait and stream as an individual household. Federal law states that in order to show a movie for a church or group event, you must have a public performance rights license (what we are calling a “screening license”).
Please support good art, the artists, and the investors who helped make the art. Do not pirate the movie, do not stream a movie or dvd to a group that does not have a public performance rights license.For more information on federal law visit this website: https://www.swank.com/public-libraries/copyright/s
Note: do not contact “Movie Licensing USA” for a license to show “Triumph of the Heart”. Currently, our website is the only place you can receive a license for this particular film.
-
Laptop + HDMI cable to connect to an LCD screen/projector.
High-speed, reliable WiFi (or ethernet connection if possible).

TOTH doesn't provide tech support—you must have someone who is able to handle technology on-site to assist. Just like you can’t call Mel Gibson to help with your WiFi when watching Braveheart, you’ll find us less than helpful with troubleshooting your technology.
-

You may still host your screening after October 29th, but be aware streaming will also be available for individuals to purchase.

WRITER AND DIRECTOR’S STORY
I lost my faith
and wanted to die.
-
I got sick. An undiagnosed medical condition destroyed my life. I couldn’t sleep. My relationship ended. I could barely hold down my job. And worst of all, there was no cure—no end in sight.
The darkness closed in, and I lost my faith. I didn’t want to live anymore.
But then I remembered Kolbe.
St. Maximilian Kolbe was a priest, a writer, and a Catholic friar. During World War II, he was arrested and sent to Auschwitz for his vocal opposition to the ideologies of the day.
He watched as 10 men were condemned to die in the starvation bunker—a brutal death sentence. When one man cried out, “My wife, my children!” Kolbe stepped forward and offered his own life in exchange.
I kept coming back to that starvation bunker—the place where Kolbe chose to love in the face of unimaginable suffering. I thought about how he forged a brotherhood in that darkness, how he transformed despair into hope. Slowly, a light began to break through.
Kolbe’s story gave me a way forward, and this film is my way of sharing that light with the world.
In an age that runs from pain and avoids the cost of love, Kolbe shows us another way. He is a saint for our time—and his story is one we all need to hear.
