"The Letter: a message for our earth": Laudato Si' Film Launched

Inspired by Pope Francis' encyclical letter, Laudato Si', the film "The Letter” interweaves the lives of five main characters who each have a private audience with Pope Francis in Rome: Amazon rain forest tribe chief Cacique Odair “Dadá” Borari; Ridhima Pandey, a young climate activist from India; Senegalese climate refugee Arouna Kandé who is a student in sustainable development; and U.S. scientists Greg Asner and Robin Martin who have developed an innovative technique to map underwater heat waves that kill coral reefs.

The premiere took place on 4 October, the Feast of St Francis, the date that closes the Season of Creation and the same day as the Holy See’s official entry into the landmark Paris agreement on climate change.
