Movie Description
The following content was provided by the publisher.
What price would you pay for freedom? In the exhilarating action epic "For Greater Glory" an impassioned group of men and women each make the decision to risk it all for family, faith and the very future of their country, as the film's adventure unfolds against the long-hidden, true story of the 1920s Cristero War - the daring people's revolt that rocked 20th Century North America. Academy Award(R) nominee Andy Garcia headlines an acclaimed cast as General Gorostieta, the retired military man who at first thinks he has nothing personal at stake as he and his wife (Golden Globe(R) nominee Eva Longoria) watch Mexico fall into a violent civil war. Yet the man who hesitates in joining the cause will soon become the resistance's most inspiring and self-sacrificing leader, as he begins to see the cost of religious persecution on his countrymen... and transforms a rag-tag band of rebels into a heroic force to be reckoned with. The General faces impossible odds against a powerful and ruthless government. Yet is those he meets on the journey - youthful idealists, feisty renegades and, most of all, one remarkable teenager named Jose - who reveal to him how courage and belief are forged even when justice seems lost.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rcart5 Must see if you cherish religious freedom A well done movie about the importance of religious freedom in light of the Christeros movement in Mexico. If you are at all interested in understanding this documented fight for freedom to worship as your heart dictates, then read the companion book to the movie (by Ruben Quezada) to get a real solid understanding of the details of this troubling period in Mexican history. It can happen again, even here in the US. It starts with subtle changes and takes hold and can grow out of control. Never take your freedom to worship for granted. 10/15/2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by SanDeeCal Exciting true story of modern saints This is an excellent film for adults down to about middle school. This is a true story of the Cristeros in Mexico with lead actors Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria. It is a bit bloody, but the story of these brave people who were marytryed for their faith is long memorable. It is truly moving to watch the movie then see at the end the photos of the real martyrs - including a young boy who is the star. He and others are being cannonized as saints for their heroism. 11/06/2012
