Dead Man Walking at Hungarian State Oper

A young nun, working with the poor in the projects outside New Orleans, becomes a pen pal to Joseph De Rocher, a convicted murderer on death row. At his request, she becomes his spiritual adviser. Through meetings with him, the parents of his victims and his own family, Sister Helen makes an extraordinary journey through pain, conflict and grief to help De Rocher find his way to the truth, and the redemptive power of love.
