Synopsis

Recently beatified by the Catholic Church, Patriarch Elias Hoyek remains one of the most influential figures in Lebanon’s modern history.

Patriarch Elias – God Will Provide traces his remarkable journey from his childhood in the mountain village of Halta to his pivotal role in the creation of Greater Lebanon.

Combining dramatic re-enactments, archival footage, and interviews with historians and religious leaders, this inspiring faith-based docu-drama explores the life and legacy of the man widely regarded as the architect of Greater Lebanon, whose profound faith and trust in Divine Providence shaped both his ministry and the future of a nation.

Produced and presented by the Congregation of the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family.

In co-presentation with the Lebanese Film Festival Australia.
