For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada [Sub: Eng]
It may be quite different when we talk about the Cristeros war in 1920. It is the war that has caused a stir around the world because it was the epic of garter glamor for GREATER GLORY. The war was aimed at freedom and the preservation of faith by a group of enthusiastic men and women who risked everything for the family, faith and the country. These people faced serious challenges and suffering in order to achieve what they wanted.
