"The Finger of God: The Life and Times of Bill Carrigan" is a documentary feature that takes the viewer through the near century long life of William M. Carrigan, an American businessman, philanthropist, WWII relief worker, faithful Catholic - and a close personal friend of one of the most renowned saints of the 20th century.

The film follows Bill from his early life on the Iowa prairie to the deserts of North Africa and the villages of Italy where he worked as a Red Cross Field Director in 1943 and was forever changed by his encounter with a miracle and his friendship with a mysterious Catholic priest, Padre Pio.

Bill's love for Padre Pio compelled him to bring hundreds of GIs to a remote mountain monastery for peace and healing and changed his post-war destiny. Through interviews with Bill's nephew, Chuck, and others who still hold Bill in living memory, Bill's life and impact are reconstructed. Interwoven throughout are selections from the wartime letters exchanged across the ocean by Bill and his beloved wife, Ramona.

This film is a colorful, poetic, and reflective story of the ripple effect that one life directed by Providence can have on generations.

A film by Makena Duffy.
