We had a wonderful D.C. area premiere Friday, April 11, 2014 at the American Film Institute's Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, MD. We set a record for the largest Band of Sisters audience ever (425 people!) thanks to the help of many groups and friends including the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, NETWORK, WATER, Women's Ordination Conference, Pax Christi, ND Women Connect, Solidarity With Sisters, and LCWR.

Many thanks to the AFI for showing the film. We will be back for an encore on November 9th, 2014!

About the Film

"I did exactly what the church asked me--and now, the church is looking at me like, where have you come from...who are you?" says Sister Nancy Sylvester, IHM (Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary), in Band of Sisters about the remarkable transformation of Catholic nuns in the United States since Vatican II of the 1960s, and the reaction of some members of the church hierarchy who oppose their changes. Perhaps more than any other group, U.S. nuns embraced Vatican II's call to serve where there was the greatest need.
