"Holy Cross Monastery - a story of survival" is a documentary about the life and difficulties of a small English-speaking Russian Orthodox monastic community in the mountains of West Virginia. The film shows daily life at the monastery and the far-reaching effect this small impoverished community has on the monastery's neighbors and pilgrims, and even the world, as well as how donations of thousands of people, made through the Fund for Assistance,  have saved the monastery at one of the most difficult times of its history in 2011-2012. 

A joint production of the Fund for Assistance to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia and the Eastern-American Diocese Media Office.
