Sister Helen

It's always interesting to find a 70 year old nun that I'm fairly certain could beat me up. This documentary is about one such nun. She's an ex-alcoholic that now runs a home for recovering male addicts in the South Bronx. These men know not to mess with this broad. Her methods are stern and she shows tough love, but in some ways seems to become a mother and the last hope for a handful of desperate people. This film has some very moving and honest moments, but at the same time feels more exploitive than your average documentary.
