For Greater Glory (aka Cristiada) is a 2012 epic historical war drama film, based on the true story of the Cristero War. Mexico, 1926. A bitter and bloody feud between the persecuted Roman Catholic population, and a tyrannical Mexican government, has erupted into a full-scale armed struggle known as the “Cristero War”, which will claim over 90,000 lives and change the course of North American history forever. When government troops destroy churches and assassinate priests an army of ordinary citizens join forces under the leadership of one man - the charismatic and defiant Enrique Gorostieta (Andy Garcia). Together, they will risk everything for family, faith and the future of the Mexican nation. (Pinnacle Films)
