Rating: 3.5/5 --
... at its heart, this is really a story about the wealthy versus the poor, and about an activist trying to protect a natural resource from those who would destroy it for profit.

Product Description:
Martin Sheen narrates this documentary that delves into the mystery of a 73-year-old nun's murder in the Amazon. THEY KILLED SISTER DOROTHY shows that the killing of this saintly woman was not a random act of violence; instead, the act was perpetrated by people who have the interests of their bank accounts, rather than those of the people and the rainforests, first in their minds.
