	Movies - Monk Dawson

Monk Dawson is a film that was released in 1998, directed and produced by Tom Waller and starring John Michie, Benedict Taylor, and Paula Hamilton. It was based on the novel of the same name written by Piers Paul Read.

The film's plot centers around Eddie Dawson, a monk who has led a sheltered existence at a Benedictine monastery, but when he is expelled from his order he has to learn to deal with the harsh realities of every day life, including falling in love, and the betrayal of a friend.

Despite being well received by film critics, the lack of a well known cast led to a short box office run in the United Kingdom, and a straight to video release for the United States market. The film was chosen as the closer for the Leeds International Film Festival, and in 1999 the it was also nominated for Best Film at the UK Creative Freedom Awards.
