Hi guys, so I always get recommendations for documentaries on Netflix etc., but I want to see movies about the faith.

What are some good documentaries to watch that cover Catholicism?

“The Keys to the Kingdom” - Gregory Peck stars in this 1944 inspirational film as a young priest struggling in China to establish a Catholic parish.

“The Passion of Christ” - Mel Gibson’s graphic 2004 movie about Christ’s death, is a gripping rendition of the greatest story ever told — in Aramaic, vernacular Hebrew, and Latin, with subtitles.

“The Rise of Hope” - A moving and inspirational biography of Pope Francis from his beginnings in Argentina to his life and influence in the Vatican.

Of Gods and Men, the true story of the Assassination of the monks of Tibhirine. On the night of 26–27 March 1996, seven monks from the Atlas Abbey of Tibhirine, near Médéa, in Algeria, belonging to the Roman Catholic Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (known as Trappists) were kidnapped during the Algerian Civil War.

Gripping and beautifully told. French, with subtitles. Our students loved it. It had a tremendous impact on them.
