Kathie Malley-Morrison and Dot Walsh, two peace activists transitioning into their golden years, struggle to make their work relevant in the skeptical atmosphere of contemporary American culture. Their story spans two years and revolves around The Peace Abbey in rural Massachusetts, a one-of-a-kind sanctuary dedicated to non-violence. As the Abbey faces foreclosure, a larger portrait of the peril facing an aging activist community emerges. Set against the backdrop of two American wars and an economic crisis, the film ultimately begs the question: Are we as individuals morally responsible for the actions of our government?
