I saw this film at the Tribeca Film Festival with the Q & A with Sister Rose afterwards. It was an intensely emotional experience. As a Jew the film's subject matter is particularly relevant to me, but the film's themes are universal. The film's subject, Sister Rose and her struggle to change the Catholic Church's official doctrine concerning the Jews, offers glimpses into the spirit of a true activist and the process of change for meta-institutions. While the film's conflict, the struggle to change official church doctrine, is poignant given the popularity of Gibson's 'Passion', it is Sister Rose herself who steals the show. This elderly Nun, who is not in the best of health, has more spitfire that a Redbull guzzling adolescent skater. While this is accurately portrayed in the film, it became even more evident during the Q & A session after the Tribeca screening. Sister Rose took the mike from the Director and would not give it back. While she did answer the audience's questions she did an equal amount of prophesizing and preaching on the topics of equality, justice, and the fight against hate. I left that screening with a renewed sense of optimism and the furnace of my own 'passion' stoked!
The best documentary I have seen so far this year.
