The Letter: A Message for our Earth

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 had gone unheard in global conversations were invited to an unprecedented dialogue with the Pope. Hailing from Senegal, the Amazon, India and Hawai’i, they brought perspective and solutions from the poor, the indigenous, the youth and the wildlife. This documentary follows their journey to Rome and the extraordinary experiences that took place there. It's packed with powerfully moving personal stories alongside the latest information about the planetary crisis and the toll it's taking on nature and people alike.
