“Charbel: A Light in the Cedars”
Lebanese film directed by Nicolas Abou Samah, starring Father Youssef Mouannès and other Maronite friars. In 2022, in the interview given by Father Mouannes talking about the film, they continued to be a reference in Lebanon. He says that no special effects were applied in recording the striking scenes, such as the miracle of the light bulb and the different seasons of the year filmed in their natural succession. The realism of the film ended up occurring in an accident in the final scenes, where the priests carrying a stretcher slipped and knocked the actor into a frozen pond, damaging his lungs to this day.
