Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon), a New Orleans nun, is the spiritual advisor to Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn), a vicious and complex murderer awaiting execution. Her dedication is to help others, like Matthew, find salvation. But as she attempts to navigate Matthew's dark soul, she encounters a depth of evil that makes her question how far redemption can really go. Inspired by a true story, this provocative film earned Sarandon the 1995 Oscar® for Best Actress
