A visit to Medjugorje - documentary by Natasha Beliaeva - 2010

A visit to Medjugorje - documentary by Natasha Beliaeva
This video tracks a young woman from Russia who visits Medjugorje with no expectations. She visits not as a believer in the visions, but as an observer. This is the most complete immersion experience into Medjugorje I have seen. Among the highlights;

1. ascent up cross mountain
2. testimonies by members of community Cenacolo
3. talk by Fr. Svet
4. visit to "the Castle" (retreat house for priests and religious, owned by Patrick and Nancy Latta).
5. testimony of ex-drug addict

I thought the tour guides in this video were particularly helpful to this young woman; in sharing the true spirit of Medjugorje.

Original video description:
"We are ("two or three"), friends from Russia, Ukraine and Hungary made this documentary film about famous pilgrimage place Medjugorje (Bosnia&Hercegovina), where since 1981 pilgrims are coming because of the apparitions of Saint Mary. But this story is about "not pilgrimage", because girl going to this small town is going not as a pilgrim, believer or like that, but just as a curious person with a question "what does it mean - the apparitions of Saint Mary? how people feel it? why they coming here?"
Name of the film partly tells about it "Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there I am in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20)
Made in 2010."
