Won 3 Ceaser Awards for BEST FILM, BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR AND BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY. Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery perched in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When an Islamic fundamentalist group massacres a crew of foreign workers, fear sweeps through the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse. Should they leave? Despite the growing menace in their midst, they slowly realize that they have no choice but to stay, come what may. This film is based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibhirine in Algeria, from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996. CBFC U/A (VFL/2/201/2017-MUM)
