Default In Good Conscience- See the Film!

I caught In the Life tonight and was delighted to learn about the film In Good Conscience by Babara Rick.

A Peabody and Emmy winning journalist/filmmaker for more than twenty years, Ms. Rick has produced, directed, and written a number of highly acclaimed films. Her latest project, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE: Sister Jeannine Gramick’s Journey of Faith, is a collaboration with legendary filmmaker Albert Maysles who describes Ms. Rick as “one of the very best documentary filmmakers I know.”

IN GOOD CONSCIENCE is a cinema verite portrait of one American nun and her determination to speak out in support of lesbian and gay Catholics despite strong opposition from the Vatican. Funded by contributions from Ellen DeGeneres, Susan Sarandon, Trudie Styler, Agnes Gund, Deborah Santana, the H. van Ameringen Foundation, the Andrew Goodman Foundation, and anonymous and grass roots donors, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE has been selected to screen at New York’s Lincoln Center in IFP’s Independents Night series as well at film festivals around the country and the world. The 82-minute feature documentary won awards for ‘Audience Favorite’ and ‘Best Documentary’ at film festivals in Philadelphia and Michigan and Honorable Mention at New York’s NewFest. It has received standing ovations from festival audiences around the world. Called a ‘masterpiece’ by Academy Award winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE was cited by VARIETY as ‘excellent’ and ‘absorbing.’ TimeOut NY said ‘This gripping documentary by Barbara Rick is a must-see’ calling Sister Jeannine Gramick ‘a freedom fighter on the frontlines of the cultural wars.’
We need more Sisters like Jeannine Gramick! See the film!

Thanks, Daniel. I hope it will make its way down to the South. Will look forward to it.
