Watch Into Great Silence

This is a documentary film following the lives of Carthusian monks. Film maker Phillip Groning makes a trip to Grande Chartreuse which is located deep in the French Alps. Grande Chartreuse is a monastery for the reclusive band of monks. The Carthusian monks are shown to be the most severely disciplined group of people. Phillip Groning reclines at this destination for six whole months in order to experience their lives. He partakes in their daily rituals, tasks, outdoor excursions, and prayers. This film is a great spiritual treat for viewers at every age. Groning created a moving mediation documentary.
