Ivo Dujardin OCSO, « DES HOMMES ET DES DIEUX » UN FILM UN MESSAGE
The response to the film has been so positive because people today are especially receptive to the authentic witness of life. The life of the monastic community of Tibhirine was a life of “dialogue” with their Muslim neighbors. The powerful witness of an authentic “dialogical” life is the message the producer wished to convey. This same message had already been emphasized—prophetically—by Pope Paul VI in his exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi and was specifically related to this film by Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
