I Am Patrick is a 2020 documentary-drama film directed by Jarrod Anderson, revealing the fascinating life of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. This film provides an authentic and historically accurate portrait of Patrick, separate from the many myths and legends that later developed around him. Through his own writings, historical context and dramatic reconstructions, the film unfolds the inspiring story of a man who found his calling in an unexpected way and left a lasting legacy in Ireland. The viewer is taken to fifth-century Britain, where the young Patrick, raised in a Romano-British family, is captured by Irish pirates and brought to Ireland as a slave. Despite the hardships, his faith grows and he finds the strength to escape, only to later return as a missionary, transforming Ireland profoundly with his message of forgiveness, love and hope. With stunning images of the Irish landscape and insights from historians and theologians, I Am Patrick offers an immersive experience of faith and courage. Patrick is portrayed as a real, human figure with power and humility who transformed an entire nation.
