Rebecca M. Alvin’s documentary “Women of Faith’’ attempts to tell a history of New England nuns. It winds up listening to various nuns discuss their relationship to God, the Catholic Church, and their sexuality. The film is part of the Museum of Fine Arts’ local filmmaker series, and most of the 60-minute run time is spent with the women of the Poor Clare convent in Jamaica Plain and members of the Maryknoll Sisters, the first group of Catholic nuns to do missionary work abroad.
