Rebel Hearts is a hidden gem. It tells the story of the radical Catholic nuns in 1960s Los Angeles whose faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside-down. They marched at Selma with MLK and they still fight for social justice today. Their story is incredible and it will fill you and your students with hope and fire. 4/n
