Radical Grace

Radical Grace follows three fearless nuns who risk their place in the Catholic Church to follow another higher calling: social justice. They take their message on the road in their Nuns on the Bus tour.  When the Vatican investigates and reprimands the sisters citing their “radical feminism”, they become the spiritual and symbolic center of a struggle for the future of the Catholic Church. Refusing to back down, they challenge the  and ultimately win the hearts of the new pope and Catholics worldwide. As they serve those on the margins and continue to struggle for Catholic women’s religious equality, these sisters are transforming American politics and the Church itself.
