Sister Helen Prejean
Author
Sister Helen Prejean is known internationally as the leading voice against the death penalty. Dead Man Walking, which was her first book, not only led to an Academy Award-winning film, but also to a play with a script by Tim Robbins, and to one of the most-performed modern operas (performed in 62 cities on four continents), with libretto by Terrance McNally and music by Jake Heggie. Sister Helen’s second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, was published by Random House in 2004, and her most recent book, also published by Random House, is River of Fire: On Becoming an Activist. She is currently working on her fourth book, Beneath Our Dignity.

Rose Vines
Script writer
Rose Vines is a writer, geek and human rights activist. A recipient of the Australian Computer Journalist of the Year award in her home country, she has decades of experience as a technology consultant, web designer and journalist in multiple fields. Since 2002 she has been Sister Helen Prejean’s communications and special projects director and trusted online “voice”. She has worked closely with Sister Helen on op-eds and articles, and in editing early drafts of Sister Helen’s two most recent books. She produced and co-wrote the documentary, Sister (2018), which explores the influences that shaped Sister Helen’s life and mission.
On the side, she is responsible for the joyfully frivolous and sadly erratic Woeful Puppetry.
