‘Many Beautiful Things’ is a film about Lilias Trotter, an accomplished artist who gave up her most cherished dream as one of history’s greatest female artists to pursue her life’s true calling as a missionary in Algeria. The film makes its debut on 6 February in Washington DC, USA, with theatrical screenings taking place around the country between 7 and 14 February. The film will be available for download and DVD from March. It features the voices of Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings) and introduces viewers to an extraordinary woman of faith who caught the eye of an art critic who promised she would become the world’s greatest living painter - but only if she gave herself completely to her art. Trotter refused. She believed God was calling her down a different path, and resolved to ‘seek first the Kingdom of God’ by becoming a missionary in Algeria.
