The Light of Bulgaria (2026)

Shot across the solemn days of Great Lent, the sacred observance of Holy Week, and the radiant joy of Pascha in 2025, “The Light of Bulgaria” weaves together archival research, candid personal interviews, and sweeping footage from throughout the nation to unveil a story rarely heard beyond Bulgarian borders. After decades of struggle, the Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Bulgaria finally secured legal recognition—only to face new threats from recent legislative shifts backed by the Patriarchate of Bulgaria. As fresh legal moves aim to dismantle the Church, this documentary invites viewers to grasp the historical forces behind this crisis and meet the resilient faithful who continue to stand firm in the face of adversity.
