June 13      The Letter: A Message to Our Earth
A few years after Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’, four voices that have gone unheard in global conversations have been invited to an unprecedented dialogue with the Pope.  They bring perspective and solutions from the poor, the indigenous, the youth, and wildlife into a conversation with Pope Francis himself.  This documentary follows their journey to Rome and the extraordinary experiences that took place there, and is packed with powerfully moving personal stories alongside the latest information about the planetary crisis and the toll it’s taking on nature and people. Rated  PG-13
 
July 18    Best of Enemies
This American drama is based on the book The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South, and focuses on the rivalry between civil rights activist Ann Atwater and Ku Klux Klan leader C. P. Ellis.
Rated PG-13
 
August 8  Mother Teresa: No Greater Love
This film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ in the poor continues to be realized through the Missionaries of Charity today. This is far more than a documentary film. It is at once a soaring tribute to a spiritual icon, a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity, and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times.  Rated G
