  • For supporters of religious freedom, a must see story!

    In the 1920s and 1930s, in Mexico, the Mexican federal government actively persecuted the Catholic Church. Not just the Church hierarchy was persecuted, but also the average believer and practitioner of the faith. Religious orders were outlawed. Foreign priests were deported. Public demonstrations of the faith were outlawed. Catholics were executed and arrested because of their faith. For a period of time, NO masses were being said in Mexico. Catholic Churches were looted by federal troops. Churches were expropriated by the Mexican government. The oppression got so bad that the Catholic people of Mexico finally revolted. The movie is about the armed struggle for religious freedom in Mexico. What a great movie. The story is very compelling.

  • Inspiring

    An exciting, action packed movie based on the true story of the Cristero War. The courage and stamina, the passion and determination of the people involved in this historic event is inspiring. There were some slower moving segments of the movie showing the "evolving" of some of the characters into their place among the "Cristero's". Many "unlikely" heroes. This movie is very entertaining, I've enjoyed it so much that I have watched it at least 10 times since my purchase, recommended it to friends and family, and purchased a second copy for a friend!

  • How was this not a blockbuster movie?

    Based on a true and easily researchable event. If they did some Hollywood liberty taking it had to be to lessen the horror of what happened. If you're having a crisis of faith or need to find some, then this is the movie for you. That being said I DO NOT recommend that this be shown to any child under the age of 15. Adults will understand the passion and heartbreak. Kids will just see people being abused. A definite MUST SEE!!

  • Good history

    Background music was a little too loud and tended to drown out the voices. But the movie does bring to light a part of history of Christian persecution by Marxists forces, which is happening again today with social media giants!

  • Very motivating film!

    Outstanding depiction of the (not well known) persecutiion of Cathoilcs in early 20th century Mexico. Acting was superb, scenes very descriptive, and plot captivating. I am ready to be a martyr for Christ by the end of the movie.

  • "Ripping"

    A good learning moment!!! For Greater Glory is a movie that describes the challenges Christians withstood in Mexico, under a dictator government that vigorously tried to destroy Christianity the early 1920"s. Sadly, ripping at your heart in the manner the government carried out its plan to eliminate almost all the makings of the Christian movement.
