The Gospel of Revolution
Directed by François-Xavier Drouet
With Rogelio Ponseele, Óscar Arnulfo Romero, Ernesto Cardenal, María López Vigil and Leonardo Boff
The revolutions that swept Latin America in the second half of the 20th century owe much to the participation of millions of Christians who engaged in political struggles in the name of their faith, paying a heavy toll for undermining the traditional relationship between the Church and power. Driven by Liberation theology, they challenged military regimes and oligarchies, risking their lives. Far from Marx's idea of religion as 'opium of the people', here the people fought for the advent of the Kingdom of God on Earth, rather than in Heaven.
