This documentary is produced by Ft. Tychon, the personal priest of dear Mr Putin who also happens to be a keen cinematographer.

It is important in 2 ways:

a) It is a sober view into Byzantine civilization, free from western inferiority complexes.
b) It demonstrates the importance of Byzantium into the formation of modern Rossian identity.

Enjoy:

It is also important in the sense that the new "western" civilization cannot be rationalized without it.

Here is an interview with the producer:
