Simone: A Saint for Outsiders

Young Simone shocks authorities as she plunges into the world seeking truth for her life. Forced by the Nazis to give up her teaching profession, Simone memorizes the Gospels. Worn and ill as a factory worker with the poor, Christ comes to her, possessing her soul. She becomes a "Saint for Outsiders."

(Based upon the life of the French mystic, Simone Weil, 1909-1943)
