Orthodox Documentaries?

[Gnarwhal]

I was wondering if there were easily accessible documentaries about Orthodoxy? Something informative that not only goes into it's history, but also it's validity, it's tradition and it's theology? I've been doing some light google research for one but I'm not turning up much as of yet, if anybody has any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer comes to mind. there is a good book that goes along with the movie as well, and it's pretty well done.

Step to the Skies is incredibly beautiful. It can be found in 7 parts, subtitled, on YouTube. It is probably the best documentary I have ever seen.

You are welcome. I just started A Pilgrim's Way today, and it is very good, too. Being around monks has a way of making you second-guess your choices in life... It has made me realize how misprioritized my life is, and precious my family is...

I cannot remember the name of it but one of the Baldwin brothers did a documentary on Christianity. We watched part of it at my church when we did a study on the history of Christianity. This documentary had several members of Orthodox clergy that were interviewed in it explaining history and beliefs. Does anyone else know of this documentary?
