Sister Helen Prejean was a humble nun from Louisiana who embarked on a controversial battle that would change the world. Her story has not only become the basis for Academy Award® winning feature film Dead Man Walking, but a critically acclaimed opera and best-selling book. Now 84 years old, Sister Helen is currently fighting to stop the execution of a Death Row inmate in Oklahoma even lawmakers are convinced is innocent. Sister Helen has never been able to save anyone from execution. This may be her last chance.

The Hollywood Reporter

That story deserves a great documentary. This well-meaning film is far from that. Rebel Nun is pedestrian at its best and cringe-worthy at its faux-arty worst.

Next Best Picture

A thought-provoking documentary that challenges belief, with a one-of-a-kind, controversial figure at its center.

Rated: 8/10

POV Magazine

The film adds to a growing body of documentaries...that go beyond the passive director-subject relationship and engage their participants in the creative process.
