Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk is the author of the film directed by Valery Shekhovtsov.
The film recounts the history of Orthodoxy in the British Isles: conversion of the archipelago’s peoples to Christianity, development of Christian churches there before the division between East and West and today’s state of the Orthodox Church in Great Britain.

An important place is given to some contemporary theologians and zealots of piety given to Orthodoxy by Britain, including Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh, Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov), and Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia.
The film has been produced by the St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation with the support of the Federal Agency for the Press and Mass Media.
The film is available online.
