Grateful to be a part of this story. Below a couple of words from Teona I’d love to share with you. Why she intended to make this movie.

“It was essential to show her humanity and not her greatness. Jealousy, desire, anger. How can you be good if you don’t know the bad?”
“We had a chance to interview four nuns who knew her. One of them said: ‘She’d come to my office, move the furniture around and say that tomorrow, I’m going to the Philippines.’ She really created an army. I was discovering this Robin Hood, this CEO; she had nothing to do with the frail woman we all remember.”
“It took me a long time to understand she was a product of a certain time and the environment she was a part of. She was a Catholic nun. It’s important to talk about it today because for me, abortion is a basic human right. Looking back reminds us of the progress we’ve made and the progress we can’t lose again. There has been lots of negativity around her, and that made me curious. It’s very easy to vilify a woman. Despite all the controversies, I discovered a feminist icon.” | Posted on 16/Sep/2025 11:13:02
