New Men 

New Men chronicles one year in the life of a Russian Orthodox monastery in rural West Virginia.
Hidden in a holler of Wayne County, Holy Cross Hermitage is home to 25 men, mostly American converts, who follow a 1,700-year-old monastic tradition. Monks take vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience meaning they will never marry, own personal property, or leave the monastery unless directed to do so by their superiors.

Over the course of the Church year, a picture of life at Holy Cross unfolds over a backdrop of rolling hills and striking seasonal changes. The monk’s reflections on shedding former identities to embrace new lives of prayerful asceticism are woven together with rarely seen moments of the community’s daily work and prayer. As the brotherhood prepares for Pascha, the most important Orthodox holiday, Father Justin reflects on his journey towards Orthodoxy and his upcoming final vows. The film culminates with Father Justin’s tonsuring ceremony in which he receives a new name and vows to live in the Monastery until death.
