Irmã Dulce
Directed by Vicente Amorim
Produced by Migdal Filmes, Globo Filmes
A reverent biographical portrait of a canonized nun's lifelong struggle against illness and institutional indifference to serve the poor, grounded in faith and compassion.
Biographical film of Sister Dulce, who, in life, was called the “Good Angel of Bahia”, also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and canonized by the Catholic Church. Contemplating from the 1940s to the 1980s, the film shows how the Catholic nun faced an incurable respiratory disease, machismo, the indifference of politicians and even the dogmas of the Church to dedicate her life to the care of the miserable, leaving a legacy that continues today.
