Good documentary on Junipero Serra?

[TruthIsFirst]

Hello All,

Anyone out there seen a favorable documentary regarding Junipero Serra, who founded so many missions in our West and who is a Venerable declared by JPII?

I would like my children to learn about him and his virtues, but not from a secular standpoint. He was such a holy man and yet he is widely panned by non Catholic critics.

Gracias!

There is a poster here I know of who I’ve seen discuss the Father, so he is probably much more knowledgeable than I am.

There is “Seven Cities of Gold”:

Also, appears the History Channel did a one hour documentary: imdb.com/title/tt1727189/

And apparently a youtube video:

EWTN also did a four part documentary on him.
