Summary
On December 2, 1980 lay missioner Jean Donovan and three American nuns were brutally murdered by members of El Salvadoŕђةs security force. This "sensitive, marvelously constructed film"(Catholic New York) chronicles Jeańђةs life, from her affluent childhood in Connecticut, to her decision to volunteer with the Maryknolls in El Salvador, to her tragic death. An award-winning classic for the ages, Roses in December is both an eloquent memorial to the commitment of this courageous young woman and a powerful indictment of U.S. foreign policy in Central America
