A GOOD CATHOLIC PRODUCTION
Not Made by Human Hands: The Miracle of Guadalupe
In a basilica in Mexico City, a 500-year-old image of the Blessed Virgin Mary hangs above the altar, framed in gold and protected by bulletproof glass.
This image was created by no known human artist. It contains no brushstrokes and no pigment found in the natural world. It is printed on cactus fiber, which should have disintegrated centuries ago.
Science has tried to explain it, but only uncovers more mysteries the deeper it looks.
What is this image that converted an entire race, created a new country, changed the course of history, and became the most-visited Marian image in the world? Where did it come from and why is it here?
We, the Good Catholic team, have decided to find out. We’re delving deep into the history, mystery, marvels, and miracles of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
We’re going fearlessly into the ancient world of the Aztecs, their tumultuous encounter with the Spanish, and the strange events of December 1531. We’re consulting world experts and simple people whose lives have been changed by Guadalupe. We’re going to Mexico to see the tilma for ourselves.
As we find out the real story behind this modern miracle, we invite you to come along with us and discover the timeless message that once changed the world—and can do so again.

Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform. If we don’t reach our goal, no funds are collected, and the project does not receive any funding. That’s why every pledge and share counts!
8. Is my contribution tax-deductible?
Since Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform and not a registered nonprofit, pledges are not tax-deductible.

Yes! We are working on special group screening packages that will allow churches, schools, and organizations to host their own showings of the documentary. More details will be announced.
10. What is the story behind the phrase "Not Made By Human Hands"?
The tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe has been scientifically examined for centuries, and experts still cannot explain how the image was created. There are no visible brushstrokes, no decay despite nearly 500 years of exposure, and microscopic details embedded in the fabric that defy explanation. It is one of the most mysterious and miraculous religious artifacts in history.
11. Why is this film relevant today?
Faith is declining, especially in the West, and many Catholics are unaware of the miracles and messages Our Lady left behind. If people knew the full story, it could revitalize their faith, inspire conversions, and remind the world of God’s presence. This film is about more than history—it’s about reclaiming a faith that’s being forgotten.
