In 2015, the Catholic Committee of Appalachia (CCA) published their famous "People's Pastoral," a letter that came directly from the people of Appalachia, a place in great need of healing. It was the result of decades of listening to the cries of the poor and of earth, and working to heal their wounds. Magisterium of the People, a brand new documentary which airs tomorrow on Salt + Light TV, explores the story behind this bold and prophetic document. Watch the videos below to learn more about how this fascinating film came to be and what we can all learn from the people of Appalachia. Sebastian Gomes, producer and director, of Magisterium of the People, gives us interesting and exclusive insights into the making of his new film.
