Order and Soul
Zsuzsanna Bak / Hungary / 2019 / 50 min
Regina Mundi is the only surviving Cistercian community whose inextinguishable faith became even more powerful under communism and through the problems their religious order faced. Whilst members of other denominations were taken in for questioning and other individuals from apostolic groups were imprisoned, the sorors at Regina Mundi were still leading monastic lives when the authorities finally began to note their suspicions in 1967. How did the sisters react when they were finally confronted by the police?
