Mar Musa

A sanctuary of peace in a wounded land.

In the Syrian mountains of Al Ghalamoun, overlooking the vast desert, stands the ancient Christian monastery of Mar Musa, a beacon of interfaith dialogue and radical hospitality in a fractured land. The film follows the monks and nuns through intimate, observational storytelling as they navigate postwar devastation working towards peace, even in the face of grave personal loss. Through cinematography and a hypnotic score, this film emerges as a profound metaphor for Syria itself.
