I’m all over this film. Sounds terrific—and timely.

The Knights of Columbus are heavily promoting this movie, and tying it to the current struggle for religious freedom against the oppressive regime of the Kenyan anti-Christ.

Crossing my fingers that it will become a cultural metaphor for opposition to the regime.

Eduardo Verastegui, who was in the movie, Bella, plays a lawyer/journalist in this movie. I read an article in our local Diocesan newspaper about it. Verastegui said he was 30 years old, and an American asked him about the Cristero War. He was embarrassed, because knew nothing about it; it wasn't covered in history in the schools.

He read more about The Cristero War, and thought he might like to make a movie about it, but he didn't have any production experience at that point. Three years later, the producer of the movie called him and wanted him in it. Verastegui was producing his first movie at the time, but agreed to be in No Greater Glory, and they worked it out so he could shoot all his scenes in 10 days.

Andy Garcia, one of my favorite actors, is also in the movie.

The star of this film, Eduardo Verastegui, recently compared Obama to Henry VIII in his relationshio with St Thomas More in that Obama, like Henry, is trying to force others to act against their conscience. I believe there was a thread on this subject just yesterday.
