Her story became the basis for an Oscar-winning film and a critically acclaimed Opera, now it is told by Helen herself and those closest to her. A story spanning six decades of conflict, forgiveness and hope.

At the core of the film is Sister Helen’s current fight to save a Death Row inmate even many law makers are convinced is totally innocent. Sister Helen has never been able to save anyone from execution. This may be her last chance.
