SEE JANE SPOTLIGHT With This Light: An interview with filmmakers Jessica Sarowitz, Laura Bermudez and Nicole Bernardi-Reis
“God’s projects are not determined by money; they are determined by action. When we think we can’t do it, we must ask: God, show me a light. My path is to open paths so others can walk. I can’t just stop. I move forward and they come along.”
— Sister María Rosa Leggol
Given that the Institute’s mission is to inspire global content creators to tell stories that reflect diverse and authentic portrayals of our culture, “With This Light” — opening in theatres on August 11th — presents a deeply moving and beautiful portrayal of a fierce heroine changing the world for girls as well as having at its helm an esteemed group of female filmmakers.
President & CEO of the Geena Davis Institute, Madeline Di Nonno, spoke with Executive Producer Jessica Sarowitz and Co-directors Laura Bermudez and Nicole Bernardi-Reis to learn more about Sister María Rosa Leggol, a self-described trouble making nun and what it was like trying to keep up with her.
