Across, the short film about the boyhood of Venerable Augustine Tolton during the Civil War, has been picked up for distribution by the HistoryFix Channel.
Menu page from the HistoryFix website, featuring “Across.”
“I found Across through a historian friend who actually appears as a Confederate soldier in the film,” said William Eichler, President of HistoryFix. “I loved Father Tolton’s story, but especially how it was presented in this outstanding production.”
Tolton was the first African American Catholic priest, and is on track to also become the first African American saint. His canonization process is well underway in the Vatican. Across is currently in development to be turned into a full 2-hour theatrical film.
