This one’s going to stay with you.
Let’s be real, we love a good story. Especially one that makes us cry, reflect, and text someone “you have to watch this.” This week on The Daily Nothings, we sat down with Anthony D’Ambrosio, the writer and director of Triumph of the Heart, and wow, was it a conversation we won’t forget.
Centered on the life of St. Maximilian Kolbe (yes, the same film that gave Courtney her red carpet moment), Triumph of the Heart isn’t just a movie, it’s an experience. One that challenges, inspires, and speaks directly to the heart.
Anthony didn’t just make a movie, he lived it. From unexpected setbacks to the spiritual battles that come with creating something this meaningful, his behind-the-scenes stories had us on the edge of our seats. He shared how Kolbe’s life gave him hope during some of the hardest seasons in his own life, and how that deeply personal connection shaped every part of the film.
Triumph of the Heart is not your average faith-based film. It’s raw, beautifully made, and unapologetically bold in its message: live with love, even when it costs you everything. St. Maximilian Kolbe’s story is told with such honesty and reverence, you’ll walk away questioning how you can love bigger, forgive faster, and trust deeper.
In a world that’s so loud and chaotic, this film reminds us that beauty, truth, and goodness still have a place, and a purpose. As we talked with Anthony, it became clear: this isn’t just about watching a movie. It’s about being moved to live differently. To walk in faith, even when it’s hard. To let go of fear. To cling to hope.
If you haven’t already added Triumph of the Heart to your watchlist — do it. This story will leave a mark on your heart in the best way.
