Directed by Tomas Sanchez, At the End of the Santa Fe Trail is based on S. Blandina’s journal entries and letters from her time spent in the West. The film debuted at the Santa Fe Film Festival in February and was summarized in the following manner: “[The film] portrays the life of Sister Blandina (maria Rosa) Segale, SC, and her faithful service in

God’s name. The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati missioned her out West at the age of 22 to serve communities and teach the faith. She encountered many obstacles, and stayed true to her beliefs, even challenging Billy the Kid to spare someone’s life!”

Sanchez was eager to share the film with the Sisters of Charity Community and those living in the Cincinnati area. on march 24, 2023, the congregation hosted a screening for Sisters and Associates at the mount St. Joseph motherhouse. That evening mount St. Joseph university offered a special viewing to the public.
