4. Grace Lee Whitney
reprising her role as Yeoman Janice Rand was especially good.

3. I just watched it last week.
Group of Trappist monks know of the atrocities that are being inflicted on the people by the fundamentalist terrorists who have taken control of the community they are serving.

They provide medical and other services and have to decide whether to return to France or stay to help their people and face possible death.

I gave it the highest Netflix rating.

6. Beautifully made and acted.
I liked the way the director allowed his camera to linger on the faces of his French actors. They wordlessly conveyed the inner struggle some of them had in making that decision.
