CHA Book Club: Living Our Shared Identity - Session 2: A Dialogue on the Film "The Letter: A Message for Our Earth"

In honor of the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical that teaches us care for the Earth is inseparably linked to care for one another, especially the poor, CHA is pleased to host a dialogue on the film "The Letter: A Message for Our Earth."

About the film
Available with subtitles in English, the one-hour and twenty-minute film tells the story of a journey to Rome of frontline leaders to discuss the encyclical letter Laudato Si' with the late Pope Francis. The exclusive dialogue with the Pope, included in the film, offers a revealing insight into the personal history of Pope Francis and stories never seen since he became the Bishop of Rome (adapted from Official site of The Letter film, 2022).

Where to watch
The film is available to watch at no cost at www.theletterfilm.org, with English subtitles provided. The website also includes instructions for accessing the English-dubbed version.
