Directed by Dominic Sivyer, REBEL NUN tells the extraordinary story of Sister Helen Prejean – a Catholic nun and America’s leading activist for the abolition of the death penalty.
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.’
