Synopsis by Perry Seibert
Dorothy Day: Don't Call Me a Saint documents the remarkable life of the Catholic activist. For the first 30 years of her life, Day was a strong-willed proponent for social justice, an active member of the Communist Party, and led an unconventional social life. After converting to Catholicism, she changed much of her personal behavior but did not stop her public fights for equality. She helped start the Catholic Worker newspaper, and helped create charitable organizations that are still viable today. The film had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
