Sisterhood (French: Ainsi soient-elles) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Maxime Faure and released in 2019.[1] The film profiles the Society of Helpers of the Holy Spirit, a Montreal-based social justice-oriented order of Roman Catholic nuns who are now in decline as only eight of them remain and all are in their 80s.[2]

The film premiered in November 2019 at the Montreal International Documentary Festival,[3] and continued to have film festival screenings in 2020,[4] although due to the disruptions of film distribution in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it only went into wider commercial release in 2021.[5]

Léna Mill-Reuillard received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Cinematography in a Documentary at the 24th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2022.[6]
