Flying Padre

Stanley Kubrickâ€™s short documentary about Father Fred Stadtmueller, a Catholic priest serving a vast 4,000-square-mile parish in rural New Mexico. To reach his scattered congregation, he pilots his own Piper Cub aircraft, the Spirit of St. Joseph. Over two days, Kubrick follows the â€œflying padreâ€ as he conducts Mass, mediates between quarreling children, attends a funeral, and airlifts a sick child to medical careâ€”capturing both the challenges and quiet heroism of his daily mission.
