Of Gods and Men
In the face of terror, their greatest weapon was faith...
Directed by Xavier Beauvois
Produced by Why Not Productions, Armada Films
A meditative, spiritually profound drama about monks confronting faith and duty amid violence, built on deep communal bonds and existential questioning.
A group of Trappist monks reside in the monastery of Tibhirine in Algeria, where they live in harmony with the largely Muslim population. When a bloody conflict between Algeria's army and Muslim Jihadi insurgents disrupts the peace, they are forced to consider fleeing the monastery and deserting the villagers they have ministered to. In the face of deadly violence, the monks wrestle with their faith and their convictions.
