Taizé: A Pilgrimage of Trust
Taizé: A Pilgrimage of Trust is a feature-length documentary that explores how a small ecumenical monastic community in Burgundy, France, has become a global beacon of peace, unity, and spiritual renewal. Set against a backdrop of growing division in the modern world, the film reveals how Taizé—founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schutz during the turmoil of World War II—continues to inspire millions through its message of reconciliation, simplicity, and trust.
Produced by Atlanta-based filmmaker (and one of our cantors!) Kathy Kuczka and Editor Kimberly O’Neill, the documentary captures the unique history, spirit and charism of Taizé and its enduring impact on young adults more than eight decades after its founding.
"At a time when many people are asking where young adults find hope and belonging, Taizé offers a remarkable answer," said Kuczka.
Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with the filmmakers.
A special public screening will take place Thursday, July 9 at 7:30 pm at the Tara Theater on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta. The 1-hour film is appropriate for all ages; a Q&A with the filmmaker will follow. Purchase your tickets below, through Eventbrite.
