I went to see the movie yesterday, in Worcester, Massachusetts, at 1:00. I shall never forget it and will see it again, to be sure. Perhaps it was because of the noon showing that so few people were there, eight was all. I have never seen a more inspiring Catholic movie, after the Passion of Christ. This is history. The characters were all actual Cristero heroes. The villains were real characters as well. The Communists had only taken over Russia less than ten years before their agents, with Plutarco Calles as their leaders, took over Mexico and inflicted a regime just as deadly, just as anti-Catholic. I hope to write a review of the movie soon, after another viewing.
