As Faces de Fátima

100 years ago an event happened that changed the world. Upwards of 70,000 were gathered in the little village of Fatima, Portugal. They were told, by an apparition that had appeared to three children—what many believed to be Mary of the Bible—that a miracle would occur. Something happened on October 13, 1917 and thousands of people witnessed it… It was called, The Miracle of the Sun.

New revelations about the events at Fatima

L'Énigme de Fatima : Que nous cache le Vatican ?

We are releasing our groundbreaking film in The Watchman Chronicles series, Fatima 2 – Strange Phenomena. This film is explosive as it contains never before seen photographs from the 1917 events in Fatima, Portugal. Does this photograph prove that a disc-like object went over the crowd on the moors of Fatima almost 101 years ago? Does it validate many of the eye-witnesses who claimed to have seen a dull, silver disc? We are also offering the book by Jose Machado, who is a professor of Semiotics and gained access to the sanctuary at Fatima where he discovered the circular object in the photograph.

In 1917, three shepherd children living just outside Fatima, Portugal have visions of a lovely lady in a cloud. The anticlerical government wishes to squelch the Church; reports of religious experiences are cause for serious concern.

In the last vision, attended by thousands of people, the Lady proves her reality with a spectacular miracle that is seen by everyone present. Based on actual events at Fatima in the summer of 1917.
