Film & Theology Night - The New Boy - 25th of July
About
Join us for the St Mark's Film, Theology, and Pide Night as we watch and discuss The New Boy.Released in 2023 this Australian film, written and directed by Warwick Thornton tells the story of spiritual struggle and the cost of survival. In a remote monastery in 1940s Australia, a mission for Aboriginal children is run by a renegade nun, Sister Eileen. A new charge is delivered in the dead of night – a boy who appears to have special powers. When the monastery takes possession of a large carving of Christ on the cross, the new boy encounters Jesus for the first time. However, the boy’s Indigenous spiritual life does not gel with the mission’s Christianity and his mysterious power becomes a threat.
