CCA 5 Thursday 18th October 7.00pm-7.45pm Holy Warriors Marianna Yarovskaya Russia ï 2005 ï 35 mins Holy Warriors follows former and contemporary soldiers of the Soviet and later Russian army. Sergei, who was captured in Afghanistan, has converted to Islam. After several years of fighting in the north Caucasus the Orthodox priest Father Nicolas returns to his religious order. The former Soviet spy Zhanna has not turned to any religion; indeed, she still firmly believes in communist ideology. Alexander has a reputation as the bravest, but also strangest, of soldiers, due to his practice of shamanism. The film chronicles the spiritual upheaval brought about by war on those involved, offering profound insight into the resilience of the human spirit during trying times. It demonstrates the traumatic effect of enlisting unwilling soldiers in war, while exploring the links between war and religion, through such manifestations of fear and hate, love and faith in modern society.
