Fathom Events will host two showings of the new film “Man of God” starring Academy Award-nominated actor Mickey Rourke on March 21 and 28. The film tells the story of Saint Nektarios, one of the most renowned Greek orthodox saints, widely known for his impactful writing and miracles.
The official synopsis follows:
Exiled unjustly, convicted without a trial, slandered without cause. The life of St. Nektarios of Aegina was one of persecution and prosecution. A priest of the common people, his popularity provoked the jealousy of the clergy in Alexandria and as a result, he was defrocked and expelled from Egypt. In contrast to his religious “superiors”, Nektarios cared for the poor, taught peasant girls to read and write, and performed miracles. Even his last moment on earth was used to help another: upon his death, Nektarios’ undergarment was removed, and as it fell upon a paralyzed man in the hospital bed next to him, the lame man arose to walk. So, too, do we hope MAN OF GOD will awaken the paralyzed faith in audiences around the world.
“Man of God” was written and directed by Yelena Popovic and also stars Tonia Sotiropoulou, Alexander Petrov, and Alexander Petrov. For more information, click here.
