Film biography of human rights activist Dorothy Day (1897-1980) who has often been compared to Mother Teresa. While a young (and atheistic) woman, Dorothy worked as a leftist, muckracking journalist who enjoyed the company of notable figures such as Eugene O'Neill. Then, her life was changed forever after meeting a nun who ran a homeless shelter. Religion and altruism became the guiding forces of Dorothy's life, as she devoted all of her time to helping the poor and homeless. In addition to supplying them with food and sanctuary, Dorothy fought for their rights, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way. [More]
