In the film, "Bella," we learn what really matters -- life and our capacity to love

While Hollywood typically promotes an amoral worldview, hope is on the horizon as a younger generation is beginning to break out of the stereotypical trends.

Three young Mexican men  -- producer, director, and lead actor -- who are conservative Catholics have produced a movie called “Bella.” This wonderful movie seeks to make a positive difference by telling the story of a man who loses it all and ultimately finds what truly matters: family, life, relationships and our capacity to love. Bella even won the coveted Toronto Film Festival’s People Choice Award!

I had the unique opportunity to attend the premiere of this movie in Mexico City in March, 2006. The movie had a huge impact on me, leaving me speechless and in tears. Bella is scheduled to be in movie theatres in September and I strongly recommend you see it. To learn more about this movie,  please visit www.bellathemovie.com.
