?Of Gods and Men? is supple and suspenseful, appropriately austere without being overly harsh, and without forgoing the customary pleasures of cinema

Synopsis
Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, 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 stunning tale of faith and heroism is based on a remarkable true story.Theatrical Release Date
