When the Vatican reprimands U.S. nuns, citing their “radical feminism,” three fearless nuns risk their place in the Church to follow another higher calling: social justice.
I’m one of the “nones,” part of a growing demographic of religiously unaffiliated millennials. So I could never have predicted that I’d be making a film about… nuns. After learning about this group of Catholic Sisters, I was enthralled by their approach to social justice work as a spiritual practice and knew I had to share it with the world.
