What response does seeing human suffering demand of us? Filmmaker Julia Haslett seeks an answer in the life and work of controversial French thinker, activist, and mystic Simone Weil (1909-1943) –– a woman Albert Camus described as “the only great spirit of our time.”

"A profound and moving film on a woman who continues to speak to all of us." - Michael Moore
