El Tonto Por Cristo – A Special Screening in Austin

El Tonto Por Cristo is a cinematic pilgrimage into the life of a Holy Fool—a monk living on the margins of a Texas monastery, carrying the grief of others and aging before his time.

Shot in black-and-white with a haunting score and a slower pace, this is not your typical faith film. It’s raw. Sacred. Sometimes strange. And it asks more questions than it answers.

Written and directed by Josh David Jordan (This World Won’t Break), the film is now on a grassroots roadshow tour—screening in cities across North America, one night only per stop.

This isn’t just a movie—it’s an evening. Each screening includes a Q&A with the filmmaker and an invitation to linger with the questions it stirs.
