About the show
The film tells the life of Saint Nectarios of Aegina — a man persecuted by the very Church that should have protected him, and exiled from Egypt. Despite the injustices, Nectarios devoted himself to his faith, to the care of the poor, and to teaching villagers to read and write; he inspired the young to enter the priesthood and wrote books that strengthened the faith of his people. An uncommon subject, quietly told and powerfully acted, the film returns the focus to grace and perseverance in the face of injustice.
