What ‘Mother Teresa & Me’ Gets Wrong About Faith and Doubt

(REVIEW) The film follows two parallel stories: One of Mother Teresa’s mission from God to serve the poor and needy in India; the other a young Indian-British woman named Kavita with a secret connection to Mother Teresa whose life is turned upside down when she finds out she’s pregnant.

This film fails, however, because it tries to make her more relevant to modern audiences, but is too burdened by a mountain of cliches and bad theology to truly succeed.

The reporter’s rule is more modest: at least 10 minutes of research per one minute of interviewing.
