Sister Carmel is no longer required to wear a habit, but her new habit is arguably just as profound. A Nun's New Habit follows the adventures of Sister Carmel Wauchope, an adorable character from the Sisters of The Good Samaritan. Sister Carmel kicked off her habit some 20 years ago, but is now at the forefront of the fight to help refugees incarcerated in detention centers.

This documentary provides a personal insight into a woman who is honest, passionate and in her own words has "no regrets… none at all!" As the film unfolds we are provided with a rare insight into the driving force behind this woman's spiritual enlightenment. This inspiring documentary is an intimate exploration of a world seldom seen.

A Nun's New Habit provides valuable lessons in religious tolerance and compassion. It flies in the face of the fundamentalism and hatred that so dominate public discussion today.  There is an immediate and growing demand for quality stories that humanize the refugee and highlight religious tolerance in our society.
