Des hommes et des dieux (of gods and men)


We watched an amazing film that will stay with us for a long time.     It tells the story of 
nine French trappist monks of The Monastery Notre-Dame de l'Atlas of Tibhirine in Algeria during the Civil War in 1996.

They led a simple life living in harmony with the Muslim population serving the poor community that was raised around the monastery. They were threatened by terrorists but decided to stay in Algeria and not return to France with devastating consequences.
