Watch For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada [Sub: Eng]
It may be quite different when we talk about the Cristeros war in 1920. It is the war that has caused a stir around the world because it was the epic of garter glamor for GREATER GLORY. The war was aimed at freedom and the preservation of faith by a group of enthusiastic men and women who risked everything for the family, faith and the country. These people faced serious challenges and suffering in order to achieve what they wanted.
CRITICS OF "For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada [Sub: Eng]"
Washington Post
"For Greater Glory" is at times so heavy-handed that the movie itself seems at war. Unfortunately, the enemy is not just a repressive administration, but the audience.
"For Greater Glory" takes its cues from a bygone era of Technicolor Golden Age epics and delivers a sprawling political drama steeped in old-fashioned Hollywood romanticism.
Despite enough good intentions to pave a four-lane highway, the ardently sincere but dramatically unfocused For Greater Glory plays like a multipart miniseries that has been hacked down to feature length.

This historical drama about the little-known Cristero War in 1920s Mexico is more educational than involving.
The compelling archival footage, which literally made me gasp aloud, and the incredible, disturbing photos are amazing. Unfortunately, you'll see them only during the end credits of 'For Greater Glory.'
If these events seem to fit a little too neatly into modern narrative, seem almost too ready-made for current controversies... a few minutes' worth of research confirms the essential truth of the story.
