Soul Searching

MID-LENGTH DOC

Soul Searching: 

The Journey of Thomas Merton

Director: Morgan Atkinson
SOUL SEARCHING is a meditation walk along the interior landscape of a great American mind, which captures simultaneously the physical beauty of the geography that nurtured it and gave it shape. It follows Thomas Merton's path - as Trappist monk, poet, essayist, spiritual writer, peace activist, environmentalist and hermit - from his youth as a Columbia undergraduate to his death in Bangkok at the age of 53. In bringing to life his 27 years as a monk, this deeply considered film reveals the struggles of Merton's spiritual search and how he emerged from this crucible with an international reputation in 20th century letters - part Augustine, part Emerson, part Gandhi - whose thoughts remain current some 40 years after his death. (2006, 68 min.)
Showing: May 19, 10am, St. Anthony's
