The energetic, 90-year-old Sister Loyola Galvin is the subject of this Kiwi documentary, an Island Bay resident that tends rigourously to the stunning Home of Compassion garden whilst sharing pearls of wisdom (like the importance of having your own space: "if everybody had a shed there would be no domestic violence"). From Jess Feast, director of Cowboys and Communists.
"Feast has been following Sister Loyola over the last year, charting her journey through the seasons that included her 90th birthday. Through her garden, we begin to understand Loyola’s commitment to nurture all living things, especially those who ‘don’t get a good start’. From her early work as a nurse with sick or stillborn babies, to her role as a nun raising children with disabilities, we see Loyola’s incredible energy and faith in her God carry her through the difficult times."
