"Across" is based on the childhood of the first African-American priest, Father Augustine Tolton. Due to his great virtue, "Father Gus" is now being considered for elevation to sainthood by the Catholic Church. The producers chose Gus' dramatic 1863 attempt to escape from slavery as the topic for this short film. While he was only a boy at the time, it was an adventure that shaped the man and the hero that Tolton was to become. Watch "Across" at 10 p.m. ET Dec. 18 on EWTN! http://bit.ly/EWTNtv F
