Into great silence by DocumentaryPublication Date: 2005
The Grande Chartreuse, considered one of the world's most ascetic monasteries is based in the French Alps. In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Gröning wrote to the Carthusian order for permission to make a documentary about them. They said they would get back with him. Sixteen years later, they were ready. Gröning, sans crew or artificial lighting, lived in the monks' quarters for six months - filming their daily prayers, tasks, rituals, and rare outdoor excursions.

Soul Searching:The Journey of Thomas Merton by DocumentaryPublication Date: 2007
"Viewing Morgan Atkinson's film on Thomas Merton proved to be a profoundly religious experience. It brings out so well the paradoxical character of Merton, the monk, poet, peace activist, and spiritual writer who influenced the lives of so many during his short life. Highly recommended." Br. Patrick Hart, monk of Gethsemani and Merton's last secretary --Br. Patrick Hart, monk of Gethsemani and Merton's last secretary
