DEAD MAN WALKING (1995)CASTSUSAN SARANDON, SEAN PENN, ROBERT PROSKY, RAYMOND J. LEE ERMEYDIRECTED BYTIM ROBBINSThe story of Catholic nun Sister Helen Prejean was given the big screen treatment in Dead Man Walking, which focused on Prejean’s relationship with prisoner Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn), who was sentenced to death for rape and murder.Fearlessly directed by Tim Robbins, and featuring career defining performances from Penn and Susan Sarandon (whose portrayal of Sister Helen garnered her an Oscar), Dead Man Walking effectively presents the Catholic stance towards the death penalty, by diving head first into the debate without abandon.

It disproves evolution, shows evidence of a world-wide flood, covers Biblical miracles, modern-day miracles, Eucharistic miracles, incorrupt bodies of saints and the Shroud of Turin.
