With This Light

During her 70 years as a nun, Sister María Rosa Leggol helped over 80,000 Honduran children escape poverty through an ecosystem of social, educational, and entrepreneurial projects. Her determination has sustained her through dictatorships, military coups, and natural disasters. Now in her 90s, she continues her charge to help young people, such as Maria and Rosa, break familial cycles of poverty and violence to create lives of their own. “With This Light” poetically interweaves the present-day stories of these young women with the epic life and noble actions of Sister Maria Rosa. This screening is followed by a Q&A with Executive Producer Jessica Sarowitz and Producer and Co-Director Nicole Bernardi-Reis.
