The discussion with The Pontiff focused on the inspiring life's work of Sister María Rosa Leggol during her 70 years as a Franciscan nun, helping more than 87,000 Honduran children escape poverty and abuse. They also discussed the importance of making sure her story and impact is known beyond Honduras .
Invited guests to the private screening at the Augustinian Patristic Institute included international and local press, members of religious orders and Ambassadors to the Holy See from Honduras , Panama , Mexico , Cuba , El Salvador and Brazil , the Secretary General of the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation, amongst other dignitaries.
On behalf of the filmmaking team, Executive Producer Jessica Sarowitz said, "The early opportunity to screen to an audience with His Holiness was a privilege. One life can inspire and educate others, as Sister María Rosa has done for so many individuals in the Honduran community, and we are so grateful to be sharing her story with a wider audience."
The screening was in partnership with L'Osservatore Romano (Spanish edition), the Vatican's official newspaper, and the Honduran Embassy to the
Holy See .
