Have you heard about the life and ministry of Sister Maria Rosa Leggol, sometimes called “the Mother Teresa of Honduras”?

Sister Maria Rosa is the subject of a documentary, “With This Light,” now available on many streaming platforms. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty chatted with Jessica Sarowitz, executive producer of the film, and Nicole Bernaardi-Reis, director of the movie, about this dynamic nun and her legacy.
