 General Description:

Kristin Ohlson

One lonely Christmas morning, Kristin Ohlson wandered into a downtown Cleveland church for mass.  Once there, she was moved by the traditions of her childhood, but more than that, her curiosity was captured by a group of nuns cloistered in a monastery at the back of the church.  They were the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration - a tiny, threadbare congregation of elderly nuns with one mission: to pray day and night for the sorrows of the world.

As Ohlson, a longtime skeptic, opens up to the Poor Clares, she opens herself to the possibility of the sacred.  The result is an inspiring personal journey as well as a poignant reflection on the power of church and faith.

"A captivating look at a cluster of forgotten women and ultimately a layman's examination of faith."
