Carson Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I'd love to learn more about my faith and especially about being a sister. Do you know of any documentaries besides "Light of Love" and "Sisters" that are either about sisters or just the Catholic faith? (Just plain Christian documentaries also welcome!)
OnlySunshine Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 "Beloved" by the Nashville Dominicans "The Nun" about a Carmelite in Sweden and her family "God is the Bigger Elvis" (Dolores Hart)
OnlySunshine Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 "No Greater Love" by the Carmelites of Notting Hill, UK (FaithCecilia's Carmel)
Eowyn Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 "No Greater Love" by the Carmelites of Notting Hill, UK (FaithCecilia's Carmel) That one is really, really good.

SilentJoy Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 You probably aren't looking for biographies about Saints who were nuns? Here are some just in case. Ignatius Press has several that are pretty good, but of the ones that I've seen, I think they are all in foreign languages with English subtitles. "Teresa of Avila" and "Teresa of the Andes" are lo-o-ong but well done. "The Seventh Chamber" is an artistic portrayal of Edith Stein's life; it might be a little confusing to follow at first, it seems more like a dream or a series of flashbacks.
maximillion Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Brides of Christ was a TV show from Australia which was drama but pretty faithful to the life. Don't know if you can still get it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101053/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl And there is the BBC series The Convent http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/bbc-series-looks-at-convent-life/1032510.article Edited February 13, 2014 by maximillion
