Drama, starring Moira Kelly and Martin Sheen, based on the eventful life of Catholic social activist Dorothy Day, who was inspired to help the poor and homeless during the Depression.
Moira Kelly (Chaplin) stars as Dorothy Day in this moving and well-played fact-based family film set during the Depression. Day was a radical journalist who became a Catholic and devoted her life to looking after the poor. While younger viewers will learn about helping others and older viewers will feel uplifted (yes, sometimes one person can make a difference), film buffs should also tune in for the cast, which includes Martin Sheen, a pre-Austin Powers Heather Graham, and Twin Peaks's Lenny Von Dohlen.
