Rise S @RT69018742 09/13/2023 This documentary film weaves Honduran history, current lives, and the biography of Sister Maria Rosa Leggol in a way that kept me engaged, made me think, and made me grateful for the goodness that does exist in this world. The beautiful imagery of Honduras is stunning. See more Tim M @RT79922043 08/23/2023 The story of Sister Maria Rosa Leggol is a powerful and poignant reminder that each of us has the power to change the life of someone in need. But Sister Maria didn't stop with one person, through tenacity, strength, compassion, grit, a vision and with the help of her Lord Jesus Christ, Sister Maria helped over 87,000 Honduran children escape poverty, violence, and homelessness throughout her 70 years as a Franciscan Nun. With this Light is a beautiful documentary by co-directors Nicole Bernardi-Reis & Laura Bermúdez and Executive Produced by Jessica Sarowitz. I had no idea what to expect when I was invited to the LA premiere but when the film was over, I was left awe inspired by Sister Maria and the grace, persistence and love she had for the children of Honduras. The filmmakers and their all-female creative team, lovingly tell the story of Sister Maria, an orphan herself, who at the age of 6 ran away from home to join the Franciscan Nuns on their mission to help the people of Honduras. Over the course of the film, we learn about Sister's many endeavors over her 70 years as a Nun, while also focusing on two girls (Maria and Rosa) who are attending Sister's school for girls and growing up in present day Honduras. When the film was over, I was moved to tears. With This Light is a love letter to Sister Maria and a call to action to all who see it - that we too, in our way, can be a force for good and change in the world. Thank you, Sister Maria Rosa, for a life well lived. And thank you to Jessica, Nicole & Laura for sharing Sister Maria with all of us.
