Review, Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Health - Spiritual Practices for Human Being.
Themes
- Martyrdom, Transformation, Spiritual Battle
  - The whole movie is about ArchBishop Oscar Romero who is martyr. You can add that it is about Transformation, because Romero is transformed by his encounter with the poor. The most powerful scene in the movie is one about the spiritual battle between good and evil. "Romero goes to the village that is under martial law. He enters the church that has been transformed into the barracks to get the eucharist where he is beaten by the soldiers. He returns to confront the soldiers and the power of good seen in the poor of El Salvador overcomes the soldiers, the forces of evil." (submitted by Guido Climer)
