| Summary: | "Amazonia Gift: to Right the Wrongs" focuses on Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation "Querida Amazonia" and its global relevance. The exhortation needs to be seen as a challenge to address the human rights violations that are heaped on the indigenous peoples, the poor and other vulnerable sections and on the environment. The 1986 period film The Mission serves as an apt backgrounder to the realities of today and to possible responses. A way forward is also finally proposed to ensure that directions from Church do not stay in the realm of words and ideas, but are put into practice. |
