Universal Pictures Content Group and Passion Pictures have completed production on a new documentary centered around the life of Sister Helen Prejean, the Catholic nun whose story inspired the acclaimed 1995 film 'Dead Man Walking.' Titled 'Rebel Nun,' the documentary delves into Sister Helen's journey as a leading advocate against the death penalty.
The original film, 'Dead Man Walking,' starred Susan Sarandon in an Oscar-winning role as Sister Helen Prejean, alongside Sean Penn. Directed by Tim Robbins, the film brought attention to Sister Helen's work and her efforts to abolish the death penalty.
