Wow. At a loss, other than to say it’s beautifully written H.E.

It was very moving. They used the medium well in terms of script, visuals, and sound design.

I would love to know their sources for claims about the earthquake that was felt, or angels and saints appearing on the beach. With all 21 killed, I don't know who they would rely on for witnesses to these phenomena. If they had a source, it would be nice to see that as an onscreen footnote, or linked in the video description.

I thought it very interesting that one of the producers was Jonathan Roumie (a half-Egyptian, half-Irish convert to Roman Catholicism), and that most of the animators seem to have come from Thailand. A truly ecumenical & international artistic tribute to these blessed martyrs.

Yes, I recognize his name from The Chosen (mixed feelings but overall positive).
