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. In the midst of civil wars, economic collapse and natural disasters, she continued 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 compelling present-day stories of these teenagers with the epic life and noble actions of Sister Maria Rosa.


Miraflores Films first feature-length documentary film, With This Light, explores the remarkable life of a six-year-old orphan who, called by God, became a mother and grandmother to thousands of Honduras’s most vulnerable children.  Our award-winning team includes producer and co-director Nicole Bernardi-Reis (Radical Grace), co-director Laura Bermudez (Negra soy), and cinematographer Lisa Rinzler (Pope Francis: A Man of His Word).  Jessica Sarowitz is executive producer.
