In an email to Bishop Montgomery, Oberholzer writes: "My hope is that THE LETTERS will inspire millions worldwide to, at the very least, feel inspired by Mother Teresa's great witness and selfless dedication to helping those less fortunate- our brothers and sisters. As a call-to-action, I hope to use the film later as a tool for charity. Please inquire anytime or watch for future updates if you have or are connected to a charity or non-profit organization."
Oberholzer also provided BMHS with some background information and valuable links and tools about the film and Mother Teresa.
"MOTHER TERESA, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, is considered one of the greatest humanitarians of modern times. Her selfless commitment changed hearts, lives and inspired millions throughout the world. THE LETTERS, as told through personal letters she wrote over the last 40 years of her life, reveal a troubled and vulnerable women who grew to feel an isolation and an abandonment by God. The story is told from the point of view of a Vatican priest charged with the task of investigating acts and events following her death. He recounts her life’s work, her political oppression, her religious zeal and her unbreakable spirit. THE LETTERS stars the acclaimed four-time BAFTA nominated British Actress Juliet Stevenson as Mother Theresa in a transformational performance that spans over 50 years, Academy Award Nominee Max Van Sydow and Golden Globe nominee Rutger Hauer play supporting roles."
