Why the Impact of the Progressive Nuns of ‘Rebel Hearts’ Will Be Felt for Generations

Singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, whose original song “Secret Sisters” closes the film, also has a connection to the sisters. Said director Pedro Kos, “It actually comes from a really personal place because he had a personal connection to the story. Rufus’ great aunt, if I’m not mistaken, was connected to the community, to the order, actually. He felt so connected to that side of the family and to that struggle. He said that the song really just flowed out of him in basically very little time.”
Continued Kos, “once he sent us the demo, we were just floored. It just is such a powerful meditation at the end of the film that really embodies the journey in a beautiful, poignant, and yet celebratory way.” https://www.indiewire.com/video/rebel-hearts-documentary-about-progressive-nuns-1234669143/

From pop art to marching with Martin Luther King in Selma, the women of the Immaculate Heart community have stood up to the status quo.
