A saint story like you’ve never seen before…
In Triumph of the Heart, Fr. Maximilian Kolbe enters the Auschwitz starvation bunker with nine condemned men. He fights to forge a brotherhood of hope in the darkest place on earth.
“Deeply powerful. Unflinching. Brilliantly written and acted.”
I’m sobbing as I write this. I simultaneously wanted it to be over and didn’t want it to end.
— MIKE AQUILINA, AUTHOR OF THE FATHERS OF THE CHURCH
"The dominant artistic technique in Triumph of the Heart is like a Caravaggio masterpiece reemerging after 500 years.

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.
