The latest documentary by these two Italian American directors examines how the Benedictine monks of Newark Abbey achieve success in the heart of one of America’s most dangerous cities with one of its most vulnerable populations: inner city African American and Latino teenage males. While Newark, NJ, with a high poverty rate of 32%, has an abysmal high school graduation rate, St. Benedict’s Prep has a near 100% college acceptance rate. The film details how the monks’ “recipe for success” follows the 6th-century Rule of Italian Saint Benedict of Norcia and how the rule of the order he founded can serve as a model for whole cities nationwide.
