The Letter

 

During the week I had the opportunity to participate in a conversation about the film, The Letter.  If you have not watched it, I encourage you to do so.  It is one of those movies that changes you once you have seen it.

In 2015, Pope Francis wrote Laudato Si’ (The Letter), an encyclical letter about the environmental crisis to every single person in the world. A few years later, four voices that have gone unheard in global conversations have been invited to an unprecedented dialogue with the Pope.

Hailing from Senegal, the Amazon, India, and Hawaii, they bring perspective and solutions from the poor, the indigenous, the youth, and wildlife into a conversation with Pope Francis himself.

This documentary follows their journey to Rome and the extraordinary experiences that took place there and is packed with powerfully moving personal stories alongside the latest information about the planetary crisis and the toll it’s taking on nature and people.

Perhaps you can host a watch party – inviting others to watch it with you.  It just may touch your heart in ways that you hadn’t expected.  The film is available on YouTube (The Letter) Enjoy it and let the power of the film speak to your heart.
