Sinopsis

In 1965, Father Martin, a Roman Catholic priest, is working as a high schoolteacher in Chicago when he runs into his friend, Bishop Keegan, on theEl train. The bishop asks him to replace his former pastor, Father Bernard,who has disappeared without a trace in the Peruvian Andes. Father Martinreluctantly agrees.When he arrives at his assigned mission, he is chased out by an angry mobthat threatens his life. Father Martin is taken to a nearby clinic for his injuries.There, he is treated by a beautiful Peace Corps nurse who warns him of thedangers of remaining in Valle Sagrado, but he refuses to leave.Over time, Father Martin realizes that there is more to his predecessor?sdisappearance than anyone could have imagined. He also notices that themeticulous, rigid expressions of church dogma threaten the ancient traditionsof the people of the Sacred Valley, sometimes with tragic results, so he strivesto embody a more transcendent experience of charity, forgiveness, and love.Based on the actual stories of missionaries who served in the Peruvian Andes,Blessed Are the Meek teaches the importance of community and acceptance,even in the most trying of times.
