    They Killed Sister Dorothy By Daniel Junge

    We are pleased to announce that David Stang, the brother of Sister Dorothy Stang, will be in attendance at the event and will update us on his sister’s murder trial, and answer audience questions at a post-screening Q&A.

    About the film On February 12th, 2005, Sister Dorothy Stang, a Catholic nun from Dayton, Ohio, was shot six times and left to die on a muddy road in the Brazilian Amazon. Who was this woman? Why was she killed? And what will be done about it? The answers may hold the fate of the rainforest itself. They Killed Sister Dorothy is a ground-breaking documentary feature and a true courtroom drama that follows the trial of Dorothy's killers and examines her life's work in the rainforest of Brazil. Winner - Best Documentary SXSW 2007 http://theykilledsisterdorothy.com
