The Soloist

The Soloist is the true story of Los Angeles Times Journalist Steve Lopez and his friendship with Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, Jr. When Lopez first meets Ayers, he is playing a violin with only two strings and expounding on the beauty of Beethoven.This powerful film is a wonderful way to explore Catholic social teaching through the themes of:

• The inherent worth and dignity of every human being
• The option for the poor
• The call to being fully human in community
