Sowing hope (2017)
Synopsis
Saint Francis’s journey in The Traveler from Assisi brings viewers to the heart of soil, seeds, and human effort as this episode celebrates regenerative practices and the power of planting to heal a wounded world.
Context
Created for Red Eclesial Panamazónica (REPAM), The Traveler from Assisi draws inspiration from Laudato Si', the environmental encyclical of Pope Francis that calls for renewed care for our “common home.” While the narrative is animated, each episode incorporates documentary-style live-action footage, connecting the story to real-world experiences and environmental challenges. This documentary dimension was made possible through the support of activists across Latin America, who graciously contributed raw footage from their communities to help ground the series in lived realities.
