This is a very moving movie that is well acted and beautiful BUT it is fiction.

The very basics are true: Bakhita was kidnapped as a child in Sudan, sold into slavery and later becomes a nun in Italy. Sadly, most of the rest of the movie is fiction. It's good fiction but the advertising for the movie does not portray the story as "Historical Fiction", so that's a bit of false advertising.

The movie does seem to capture Bakhita's spirit so the flavor of the movie appears true; the facts are not.
