NEW FILM: "Moses the Black" (w/ Yelena Popovic)
Filmmaker Yelena Popovic joins Fr. Andrew to discuss her new film "Moses the Black," a story of redemption set in the gang violence of Chicago, intersecting with the life of the great fourth-century saint. She is also the writer and director of the acclaimed "Man of God," the story of St. Nektarios of Aegina. The conversation covers everything from the Chicago setting to the R-rated elements to the ancient and modern inspiration for the film. The film opens Jan. 30, 2026.
