Rebel Hearts is a 2021 American documentary film, directed, produced, and edited by Pedro Kos.
The film follows a group of progressive nuns at the Immaculate Heart College, including Anita Caspary, Helen Kelley, and Corita Kent as they made sure women received degrees, and transformed the education system.
Shawnee Isaac-Smith had the idea of making a documentary film revolving around the nuns at Immaculate Heart College, and conducted over 50 interviews with the nuns, however, ran into difficulty securing financing.
[2][3] Isaac-Smith saved the interviews until she found the right creative partners, which would ultimately be twenty years later, when Pedro Kos and Kira Carstensen would join as producer, and director, respectively.
[11] Rebel Hearts received positive reviews from film critics.
