“Faced as we are with global environmental deterioration, I wish to address every person living on this planet." (Pope Francis, Laudato Si’, 3)

On October 4th 2022, the Laudato Si’ movie, The Letter – A Message for our Earth, was launched in Rome. In just three weeks it had 8 million views on YouTube! The Letter, produced by the Laudato Si' Movement, together with the Oscar and BAFTA-winning team Off the Fence, is a film-documentary which follows 5 courageous change-makers from different parts of our world as they tell their stories and bring hope to the global conversation to care more deeply for our common home.
