France, 2010
Absolutely stunning, incredibly moving story of a group of monks in a monastery in Algeria, trying to decide whether, in the face of a swaith of Islamic extremist violence, to leave the village where they've set up a clinic and have a real relationship with the villagers, or to stay and face whatever comes. If they stay are they martyrs, if they leave, are they cowards?
Peter Bradshaw wrote a lovely review of it.
