Witness one of history’s most essential fights for equality with Rebel Hearts.

In 1960s Los Angeles a trailblazing group of nuns, The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, bravely stood up to the patriarchy of the Catholic Church, fighting for equality, their livelihoods, and their own freedom against an all-powerful Cardinal who sought to keep them in their place. Their bold acts of faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside down, helping to reshape our society in ways that continue to resonate today. From marching in Selma in 1965 to the Women’s March in 2018, they challenged the notion of what a nun and a woman were supposed to be.

Following the screening, there will a reception at Grand Central Art Center. This is a program of Sisters InfoShop in collaboration with Frida Cinema and Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange.

This free screening is in conjunction with Sisters InfoShop, an exhibition and socially engaged project by artist Lexa Walsh, that is a platform for the legacy of progressive women religious in California and beyond, with a special focus on the work and lives of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange.

Rebel Hearts screens Saturday, May 6th.
