Gott und die Welt - Christen im Irak: Bleiben oder Gehen?
Directed by Susanne Brahms30mDocumentary, Short
Father Jens Petzold did not sing at the cradle that he would one day lead a Catholic monastery in northern Iraq. He comes from an atheistic social democratic family from Berlin Neukölln. Nevertheless, questions of faith have interested him since childhood. His search for spiritual meaning and his fascination with Far Eastern spirituality eventually led him to a remote monastery in Syria. In the monastery Mar Musa al Habaschi around the charismatic Father Paolo Dall'Oglio he was baptized in the Easter Vigil 1996.
