The documentary hasn't yet been released for distribution. The one day showing on Vimeo was actually the Film Festival screening, which normally would have been done onsite. Because of the COVID-19 restrictions, however, it was presented for viewing online instead. If I understand correctly, the public distribution of the video may still be months off. In the meantime, the music video "A Prayer for All", which also received a first place award, features Jonathan singing and includes many video clips from the documentary. It may be found at www.pemptousia.com and on YouTube. The album featuring this song will be called the "Great Hours", and will contain songs derived from the poems of Saint Joseph the Hesychast.

Greetings for the manager of this site. I've been following orthochristian.com for a while and it seems to me that it needs some improvements for its features, especially on the availability of a search box mechanism, whichh would most certainly be beneficial for ease of access and overall experience in using the site. That's it for me, thank you very much and God bless.

Great movie: there is a need of more such movies from Orthodox Christians for the new generation, who lost their way in this world..
