?Exhilarating...among the year’s best films...Radical Grace moved me to tears...? ROGEREBERT.COM
This film follows three fearless nuns who risk their place in the Catholic Church to follow another higher calling: social justice. When the Vatican investigates and reprimands the sisters? citing their ?radical feminism??they become the spiritual and symbolic center of a struggle for the future of the Catholic Church. The women refuse to back down and continue to challenge the patriarchal system. Will they win the hearts of the new pope and Catholics worldwide? Inspired by the sisters? story, Radical Grace launches a social impact campaign (Nuns on the Bus) that will help reframe faith and morality as a force for the progressive movement.
