For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada (2012)

This was a historical account of the resistance to the Mexican government’s elimination of the Catholic religion in Mexico.  It starred Andy Garcia as the rebel general.  This is a relatively clean film from a language standpoint, but very violent, including showing the killing of young children.  It dragged on about 35-40 minutes longer than I would have liked and I cannot recommend it.  Did the rebels win, in the end, yes.  Did it document some of the important battles, yes?  Did it make it’s point, yes?  It was just not that good.
