'Man of God' is a 2021 English-language Greek biographical drama film written and directed by Yelena Popovic and starring Aris Servetalis as Nectarios of Aegina and also starring Mickey Rourke and Alexander Petrov.
Synopsis
'Man of God' brings to life the incredible true story of Saint Nectarios of Aegina, Greece. A priest of the common people, his humility annoyed the prideful orthodox clergy of the day. In contrast to his religious superiors the bishops and patriarchs mesmerized by worldly honors and power Nectarios cared for the poor; taught peasant girls to read and write; inspired by example young men to enter the priesthood; and wrote books and delivered sermons that uplifted nations of believers. In this exquisitely made film, relive Nectarios' inspiring devotion and perseverance as, despite the efforts of the religious establishment to discredit him and dismantle his good works over decades, he embraced humility and inspired thousands to become one of Greece's most renowned saints.
