May 2010: Xavier Beauvois' film Des hommes et des dieux wins the Grand Prix du jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Lambert Wilson and Michael Lonsdale portray two of the seven monks kidnapped and murdered near the village of Tibhirine in 1996 during the Algerian civil war.
Because they refused to leave a country and a people they felt bound to, the monks paid for it with their lives. This is the true story of the monks of Tibhirine.
