Fortress of Faith 2025

Directed by Artem Somov

The Holy Dormition Nikolo-Vasilyevsky Monastery near Ugledar was founded by Donetsk Schema-Archimandrite Zosima. Located right on the frontline, the monastery became a sanctuary for dozens of monks, priests, and civilians from day one. ‘Fortress of Faith’ is a documentary about survival, resilience, courage, and determination. It is a proof that faith can be a beacon in the darkest time, helping people find a way home and to each other.
