GETHSEMANI   Atkinson, Morgan   Explore life at the Abbey of Gethsemani, one of the most well-known monasteries in the world, as the filmmakers capture the essence of the monastic life lived by the renowned spiritual master Thomas Merton and as it is lived today by his Trappist brothers. Among the questions posed in the program are "Does this lifestyle, and the values that support it, have any relevance in today's world?"; "Can a contemplative approach to life have meaning in a world where activism is held up as the ideal?" Witness the beauty and serenity of Gethsemani while examining the struggles that go on underneath. 60 minutes   DVD

SOUL SEARCHING / THE JOURNEY OF THOMAS MERTON   Atkinson, Morgan   "Viewing Morgan Atkinson's film on Thomas Merton proved to be a profoundly religious experience. It brings out so well the paradoxical character of Merton, the monk, poet, peace activist, and spiritual writer who influenced the lives of so many during his short life. Highly recommended." Bro. Patrick Hart, monk of Gethsemani and Merton's last secretary. 67 minutes.   DVD
