Death Row Documentary About Nun Who Inspired ‘Dead Man Walking’ Set at Universal Pictures Content Group (EXCLUSIVE)
Universal Pictures Content Group has set documentary 'Rebel Nun,' which follows the story of death penalty abolitionist Sister Helen Prejean.
Susan Sarandaon won her first and only Oscar playing Prejean in “Dead Man Walking,” which was written and directed by Tim Robbins and co-starred Sean Penn as a convicted murderer. The doc is directed by Dominic Sivyer (“The Masked Scammer”), who was granted unprecedented access to Sister Helen as well as unseen archive footage dating back six decades and interviews with key people involved in her work, including victims’ families. Director Dominic Sivyer isn’t afraid to ask the difficult questions, blasting through the public, at times controversial, persona to reveal a character of both incredible strength and fragility.”
