IN MY OPINION THE NARRATORS -ONE MALE, AS MERTON AN ANOTHER, FEMALE ARE AVERAGE THE FOCUS IS FROM THE TIME MERTON WAS GRANTED HIS INDEPNEDENT BUN…GALOW NEAR THE ABBEY TO LIVE AS AN HERMIT. IT STARTS OFF WITH HIM IN THE SPACE LISTENING TO KANSAS CITY JAZZ IN FRONT OF A FIREPLACE! "The Many Storeys and Last Days of Thomas Merton is the story of of the great spiritual writer in the last year of his life, embarking on his greatest journey. It s a story of adventure and search that takes the viewer from Merton's home at the Abbey of Gethsemani, across America in the turbulent year of 1968 and finally to Asia for meetings with the Dalai Lama and other spiritual seekers. The purpose of Merton s journey? It is the goal of all pilgrims. Merton seeks a deeper union with God, a desire he brought to life so vividly in his spiritual classic The Seven Storey Mountain. "The Many Storeys and Last Days of Thomas Merton" celebrates the triumph of all that was gained by his journey to the East, reflects on the tragedy of what was lost with his death and considers why Merton's life and work challenges us today. Among those interviewed are His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Richard Rohr Kathleen Deignan, James Martin and others." Morgan C. Atkinson is a documentary filmmaker based in Louisville, KY. Throughout his career he has focused on people or groups seeking meaning through a spiritual search. His earlier film on Merton, "Soul Searching: The Journey of Thomas Merton" was aired nationwide on PBS.
