This documentary follows individuals from around the world as they make their way to Rome to meet with Pope Francis and begin a dialogue about sustainability and the environment. This community gathering reinforced our &#8216;duty towards nature and the Creator&#8217;, which is an &#8216;essential&#8217; part of our faith, as outlined in Pope Francis\u2019 encyclical <em>Laudato Si<\/em>&#8216;. This also provided us with a valuable opportunity to establish a greater dialogue regarding stewardship, a crucial aspect of our shared Dominican faith.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would love for all members of our community to watch this powerful documentary. In the words of the Laudato Si\u2019 Movement chair, Lorna Gold, &#8216;once you know, you cannot look away&#8217;.
