«La Cristiada» vuelve a los cines de México
The film La Cristiada is returning to Mexican cinemas with a new Spanish-language dubbing to help modern audiences connect with the religious persecution that began in Mexico in 1926.
The 140-minute film follows General Enrique Gorostieta, who accepts leadership of the Cristero army despite not being a believer, and his encounter with Joselito. The story also features the lives of Mexican priests and laypeople, including Saint Cristóbal Magallanes, Saint José Sánchez del Río, and Blessed Anacleto González Flores.
While the film originally premiered in 2012, this new version features a full Spanish dub. The production has retained the voice of lead actor Andy García, who provides the voice for his own character.
