Rebel Nun Follows the story of Catholic nun and leading death penalty abolitionist Sister Helen Prejean, whose story was first captured in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. Now, almost 30 years later, through unprecedented access and a vast library of over six decades of archival footage, filmmaker Dominic Sivyer takes a look at the life and work of Sister Helen as she continues to be an inspirational force for justice.
Her life may have begun with humble Louisiana roots, but, as we learn through interviews with Sister Helen, key people with whom she works, and victims’ families, it’s a life that continues today in tireless advocacy against the death penalty. As we watch her battle the execution of an Oklahoma Death Row inmate that even lawmakers are convinced is innocent, ultimately the film paints a portrait of resolve, vulnerability, strength and unwavering dedication to justice reform in America.––Deborah Rudolph
