Loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibehirine in
Algeria from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996, OF GODS AND MEN tells
a story of eight French Christian monks who live in harmony with their
Muslim brothers.
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.
