The Gospel of Revolution

François-Xavier Drouet / documentaire / 115 min / 2024

The revolutionary fervor that swept through Latin America in the 20th century owes much to the participation of millions of Christians who engaged in political struggles in the name of their faith. Driven by liberation theology, they paid a heavy tribute for undermining the traditional relationship between Church and Power. Far from Marx’s idea that religion is
the opium of the people, the film explores the experiences of men and women who believe to have witnessed in the revolution the advent of God’s Kingdom on earth, rather than in heaven.
