User Reviews

Tierra, Trabajo, Techo

Beautiful film about a man with a simple message. We need to respect our planet, our tierra/earth on which our existence depends. We also need a roof/techo over our heads and meaningful work/trabajo to give us dignity. The film traces the early life of Saint Francis of Assisi and his links with our present day Pope. We follow Pope Francis around the world as he interacts with people in the most profound ways. Truly a message not to be missed.
