A Celebration of Community Spirit: Love Letters for New Bedford

By Rhea Mursalin

Love Letters for New Bedford, directed by Ethan de Aguiar, beautifully captures the essence of New Bedford, Massachusetts, through a rich tapestry of voices and perspectives. This documentary celebrates the city’s vibrant cultural community, spotlighting artists, educators, poets, journalists, authors, and vocalists. Through thoughtful storytelling and intimate interviews, de Aguiar seamlessly weaves together narratives that underscore the deep admiration and connection these individuals have with New Bedford. 

The film’s ability to evoke a sense of place and community pride, its visual appeal, and emotional resonance make it a compelling watch. 

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars.
