Cistercian Monks at Stift Heiligenkreuz Abbey
A small group of Cistercian monks in Austria made music history in 2010 when their album of Gregorian chant climbed England's pop charts, landing in the Top Ten for two months and selling more than a million copies worldwide. This documentary takes an unprecedented look at the daily lives of these unlikely celebrities, who rarely allow cameras inside their walls.
