This Side of Eden - From the grand to the mundane, life at Westminster Abbey in Mission, British Columbia, Canada, is anything but ordinary. This Side of Eden presents a poetic, compelling and richly intimate portrait of the Benedictine Monks in the days of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum. Young and old, able and infirm, the subtle splendor of their lives is interwoven with the quiet majesty of the natural world that surrounds them. Stunningly photographed and thoughtfully told, this film offers a meditative glimpse into a unique way of life which is grounded on earth but lived looking beyond. Wednesday at 10 PM, Friday at 8:00 AM, Saturday at 1:30 PM and Sunday at 5:30 AM.
