Of Gods and Men is a "deja vu" experience to some extent of seeing "White Material" with Isabelle Huppert.
This movie is set in Algeria and speaks to the arguable lack of merit in Christian crusades where such efforts are clearly not welcome ultimately.
We do learn something of the Moslem religion, as koranic verses
are read by Arabic speakers citing such versus as those that require "good deeds"
from its followers. Is better to teach that good deeds indeed are the measure of
a good soul, they would suggest, rather than what some fundamentalist Christian churches seem to say in believing in being saved by grace alone
The movie looks to see whether the killing of priests due to the fact that
they have a different despite being basically good way of believing
from your own
Ultimately the message of White material and "Of Gods and Men" is the same.
There is little chance of success in crusades where ideas of conversion are basically not seen as acceptable a way to live instead of what they are used to over there.
French drama based on the 1996 kidnapping and killing of seven monks in Algeria. 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, eventually deciding to stay and help their neighbours keep the army and the insurgents at bay.
