The Holy Archipelago

In 2022, Russian film director Sergei Debizhev released The Holy Archipelago, a moving documentary on the daily rhythms of the Solovetsky monastery. Featuring breathtaking footage of the life of the monastery and the natural cycles around the monastery, the film touches on some of the deepest searchings of the human soul.

I found the full film available to stream on TRIPVILL TV, which is a subscription service that does offer a free trial… Let me know if you see it somewhere else!
