About the Film: Rebel Hearts
Rebel Hearts is a documentary that shares an important part of history. It focuses on a special group of nuns who wanted to make a difference. These women worked to improve education for everyone.
What is Rebel Hearts About?
The movie follows nuns from the Immaculate Heart College. Some of these inspiring women include Anita Caspary, Helen Kelley, and Corita Kent. They believed that women should have the same chances to get a good education. They worked hard to change the way education was done. Their efforts helped many women earn college degrees.
The Nuns Who Changed Education
The nuns at Immaculate Heart College were very forward-thinking. They wanted to make sure their students received the best education possible. They helped transform the school's teaching methods. This made it easier for women to get degrees and follow their dreams. The film shows how brave and determined these women were.
How Rebel Hearts Was Made
The idea for Rebel Hearts came from Shawnee Isaac-Smith. She wanted to tell the story of these amazing nuns. Shawnee interviewed more than 50 of them to gather their stories.
Bringing the Story to Life
It took a long time to get the movie made. Shawnee saved her interviews for about twenty years. She waited until she found the right people to help her. Eventually, Pedro Kos joined as the director and Kira Carstensen became a producer. Once they were on board, they filmed even more scenes for the movie.
When and Where You Could See It
Rebel Hearts had its first showing at a big event called the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. This happened on January 29, 2021. Sundance is a famous festival where new movies are shown for the first time.
Watching the Film at Home
Soon after its premiere, Discovery+ bought the rights to show the film. This meant more people could watch it. The movie also played at another film festival called AFI Docs on June 23, 2021. Then, on June 25, 2021, it was shown in a few movie theaters. Just two days later, on June 27, 2021, it became available to stream online on Discovery+.
