WITH THIS LIGHT
During her 70 years as a nun, Sister Maria Rosa Leggol helped over 87,000 Honduran children escape poverty and violence through an ecosystem of social, educational and entrepreneurial projects, inspiring an international network of supporters to expand her work.
The film follows two young women in Sister’s programs as they try to navigate the uncertainty and dangers of modern Honduras. Rosa (18) has spent almost her entire life living inside the protection of Sister’s urban orphanage. As she prepares for her senior exam for college and a life of her own, she must confront both her fears and the ghosts of her violent childhood. Living in one of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods, Maria (14) is trying to get an education, so she can break free from the cycle of poverty and violence that traps the women in her family by. She finds protection with Alfredo (18), struggling to balance her role of “wife” with her studies. With This Light poetically interweaves their stories with the almost miraculous story of Sister herself, a woman whose Catholic faith has sustained her through dictatorships, military coups, narco-states and natural disasters, all the while dedicating herself to society’s most vulnerable.

FREEDOM ON FIRE
https://www.freedomonfire.film/
The film depicts the horrible realities of this unprovoked war instigated by Vladimir Putin. It is an exploration of the courage of the Ukrainian people, fiercely determined to stand their ground until ‘the last drop of blood’. Demonstrating an astounding ability to unite as a people and defend the sovereignty of their country, Ukrainians show compassion and resilience even when surrounded by death, destruction, and unfathomable war crimes. The film transports viewers through a war that started immediately after Maidan (Revolution of Dignity) in 2014 and continues through the 2022 Russian invasion. Through personal stories of civilians, children, soldiers, doctors, the country’s elderly, journalists, religious leaders, and international volunteers, this is a humanizing diary of millions of people whose lives were turned upside down by eight years of conflict.
FREEDOM ON FIRE: Ukraine’s fight for freedom is a companion piece to Oscar and Emmy nominated movie
WINTER ON FIRE: Ukraine’s fight for freedom (Netflix / 2015).
