Heart of a Servant: The Father Flanagan Story

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.

This was a wonderful film! I only knew a little about Father Flanagan and this documentary revealed so many things that I never knew.

What an amazing man and an amazing film that tells more about his remarkable life!

The details, directing, and filmography were impeccable. With a focus on his entire life, the film wove an interesting narrative that focused on Father Flanagan's mission. The interviews were also done very well and gave insights into the man who was Father to all in Boys Town and "America's number one dad."

After seeing this film, Boys Town is on my list of places to visit. Well done film and everyone (even if documentaries aren't normally your thing!) should watch it!

The life of Father Flanagan is nothing short of incredible, and I cannot believe just how unknown his story is. If you're familiar with Boys Town then you likely know his story, but for those of us outside of Nebraska, it's shockingly easy to have never heard of the amazing man or his impactful works.

A true gentleman ahead of his time, Fr. Flanagan was cutting edge in his beliefs that no boys are bad; all boys deserve to be loved and cared for; and that it doesn't matter what your race or religion is--you should be cared for. He faced a lot of adversity for choosing to take care of these boys, but God provided all he needed and more to make Boys Town a reality. When you see the lasting positive effect he had on all boys associated with Boys Town; how Marvel and Hollywood took interest in him; and how even POTUS trusted him, you will be in awe.

This film is beautifully made, a joy to watch, and (at times) a tear jerker. I was so impressed by the depth and breadth of the coverage this movie had, how much I learned, and--of course--listening to Jonathan Roumie narrating was a very nice touch.

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!
