from Lord of the Rings
Even wicked creatures flee from the evil Balrog. Gandalf faces it and fights with all the power he possess. He is willing to give his life if it means that his companions might press on. When he has given all the strength he possesses in battle, his life is restored, and he returns to his companions "at the turn of the tide."
Doctrine: St. Athanasius, Arainism: It seemed as though the entire world was converting to Arianism at the time of St. Athanasius. Rather than submit to those who denied Christ's divinity, Athanasius took up the fight against Arius and the many others who supported his theology.
Use this clip to demonstrate the power against which Athanasius thought, as well as the certainty of defeat that many in the Church at that time must have felt.
