Radical Grace
Radical Grace follows three American nuns, united by a shared belief that faith is action, who continue to strive for justice in the shadow of a politically motivated Vatican investigation. As the relationship between the sisters’ faith and organized religion is called into question, each woman finds the strength to stand up and challenge the very Church she has dedicated her life to serving.
Supported by a younger generation of Catholics, the sisters’ message of inclusivity resonates throughout the country and beyond, as people around the world begin to question the Vatican’s motives.
Playing out through the 2012 Presidential election, the surprising retirement of Pope Benedict and the election of Pope Francis, who reaffirmed the need for a Vatican investigation, Radical Grace explores the strength of personal faith and commitment in the shadow of an institution in crisis and a nation in need.
