Eva Ng Oct 18 2015 10:42 pm Dear Sir/Madam,

May I know where I can purchase the above DVD in the English version?

Please help me.

Thank you.

Regards, Eva

Trang Nguyen Sep 18 2015 9:31 pm Looking on how I can buy this movie as a gift?

Edith Aug 23 2015 5:10 am Where can we purchase a DVD of this magnificent movie? He is on fast track to sainthood.

Fr. Stanley j. Harris Aug 09 2015 10:24 am It is a wonderfully inspiring movie (very tearful, have tissues ready!) . Fr. "Jolly" lived the Gospel of Christ totally; A Saint in my personal opinion. A wonderful example to Missionaries every where and a credit to the Catholic Salesian Order. The DVD should definitely be for sale and the proceeds go to continue his work in the Sudan. Please, please sell the DVD! We all want copies!

Kari Sandor Aug 04 2015 6:05 pm I agree with Raquel. Couldn't people buy this film and proceeds go the children of Tonj? Please.

Raquel Ford Aug 02 2015 6:56 pm I saw the film this afternoon and I teared up, this priest is a saint. Perhaps if the Salesians can organize something with EWTN for people to be able to purchase this film with some of the proceeds to go to the kids of Tonj and maybe other parts of the world, so the story of Fr Jolly will remain in the people's hearts.

Mary Donahue Aug 02 2015 6:14 pm This film was shown on EWTN Catholic Network on August 2, 2015. It might be available through their religious catalogue. This man should be on the path to canonization. Great testimony to one man's love of God and mankind.

Katy Jan 28 2015 10:59 am Like others here have posted, I also want to know how to get a copy of this DVD. I have done extensive and exhausting research on this, and though I am able to find so many instances of others having the DVD in their possession and showing/giving it to others (in articles, etc.) - and I can even see how to purchase it if you live in South Korea - I am astounded that it is not available in the US. If there is an issue with cost of production/printing of copies, I envision this being a successful Kickstarter (or other crowdfunding) project. I know others who would like to share this with youth groups, churches, etc. How is it not possible to share this beautiful story other than just viewing it online??? Not sure why I am even posting this here. Apparently these are just comments for view. No one is necessarily responding to them...

Arlene Jan 06 2015 1:05 am Will Father Lee Tae-soek's story "Don't Cry for Me,Sudan" be released anytime soon with English subtitles? It is such a beautiful and touching story showing how all races how they can get along. God bless Father Jolly and all of you who do his work

Arlene Nov 04 2014 12:58 am Can you please tell me where i could purchase the movie "Don't Cry for me, Sudan" with English subtitles. It is such a beautiful and touching story but i can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks, Arlene

María Cuadra Aug 26 2014 11:55 am To Whom It my concern, Could you please tell me where to buy This movie dont cry for me Sudán I really appreciate It if you habe a phone Number or website. Tank you María C

Donald Shaw Aug 21 2014 5:23 am What an amazing story of bravery, love and generosity, to use but a few nouns and yes, Father Jon Lee was truly a saint. Thank you EWTN for broadcasting this documentary during Pope Francis' visit to Korea. It should be shown in all parishes as for me it reveals the poverty and hardship these Sudanese have to live through: we really should appreciate all that we have in our western societies, and be much more generous.

Congratulations to the production team, you did a good job.. Mountain Pictures, release this on DVD, please.

Rose D'Alessandro Aug 20 2014 9:39 am I am very proud and blessed to be catholic - It's priests like that makes up our catholic religion - This is the truth and if anyone seeks the truth they will be a better catholic or convert -- I wish I had known him -does anyone think he is going to be a saint - I do - God bless him and keep him in his arms

Naomi Corera Aug 18 2014 2:51 pm I want to buy the DVD movie of "Don't Cry for Me Sudan. Please help me. Thanks,

Mary Edel Guzman Aug 18 2014 12:19 pm I pray that Fr. John will one day be canonized a saint!

Mary Edel Guzman Aug 18 2014 12:12 pm By God's grace and thanks to EWTN, I came to be introduced to this Catholic priest who worked selflessly in a very remote, very poor part of Africa. I shall admit that I did cringe when I first saw Fr. John treating the lepers. As I watched the movie , I felt so ashamed of myself as my claim for service to humanity cannot even be compared to Fr. John's. I am praying for Fr. John's eternal repose while at the same time asking for his intercession, especially for the people of Tonj. May he be declared a saint one day!

Amy Busch Aug 16 2014 8:42 pm I loved this film, and I love Father Jolly, (Father Lee Tae Soek). Makes me proud to be Catholic. I pray that I able to see the beauty in all people like he did. I cried f through it. Jesus, make my heart unto Thine. I am wondering how I can buy this CD.

Bernardita Libot Aug 15 2014 1:22 pm wondering if how we can continue his work in Sudan , is there a website for volunteer , awaiting for your response

LONDON EDWARDS Aug 14 2014 8:45 pm I saw this earlier today on EWTN and was moved to tears. I have never heard of him until today. What an extraordinary man! Being declared a saint is imminent. I have shared his story with my friends. I'm just overwhelmed by his love and his compassion.

Ursula Awad Aug 14 2014 3:02 pm Just saw the movie about this holy priest-doctor on EWTN. I hope and pray that Father John will be declared a saint some day by the Church.

Cecille Nov 21 2013 3:49 pm What an Amazing Doctor, Priest and Friends of the needy ones! He is truly a good Christian! God Bless Him inHeaven.

Kathy Murray Mar 11 2013 6:33 pm This story is too wonderful to be without subtitles....how can this be released with English subtitles?

Johnny Mar 04 2012 1:37 am

9. I think what is poisoned is a person without a heart and you seem to be one. I feel sorry for you.

jon Jul 21 2011 2:33 pm He heals their bodies but poison their minds.

Carolyn Hairston Apr 25 2011 2:02 pm Father John Lee is an excellent example of how we should live our lives. I can really see our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the life that Father Lee lived. Father Lee is a great blessing. I am sad to read that he is no longer with us here.

W Kim Mar 23 2011 1:47 pm Even as a non-Christian, very inspiring example of selfless dedication to doing good and making a difference. I hope others are continuing the work he has started.

Nancy Mar 22 2011 6:56 am We miss him dearly here in Sudan

James Too Mar 08 2011 9:49 pm He his a rare flower of Mankind and a selfless man dedicated his lfe to helping others.We need more people like him in this troubling times.It is a pity he have to leave too soon.God Bless

Maria Leelavathi Joseph Mar 04 2011 8:19 am I've had the rare privilege of seeing this saintly missionary salesian priest in action, while I visited Tonj in 2008. I was in Marial Lou those days. He has been instrumental for me to make a decision to find my way back to Sudan and do my bit for my needy brothers and sisters over there. That he may intercede for me, I pray. May God inspire more and more people to serve those in urgent need, with the talents and gifts which God has showered upon us.

Manuel J Falk Mar 02 2011 8:20 pm Great vignette of his life. Am American and cannot understand the languages but understand the spirit of priest,doctor and dedicated catholic christian to the loving care of god's people. Would love to have a copy to share here in the USA.

veronica yarwood Mar 01 2011 3:06 pm wonderful trailer, but kept breaking up. Pity the film is not more widely known and available. A true saint.

Jackie Parkes Feb 26 2011 2:54 pm Very moving..
