Description

Saints of the Revolution is the definitive documentary on the history of the church in Cuba.

"Brilliant! Here is a glimpse of the whole story of Christianity in Cuba." - Tony Campolo, Eastern University

"The Cuban church has lived with the gospel and suffered for the gospel in its own time and unique way...it has a witness for the churches in the U.S. that we need to hear." - Lucius Walker, Pastors for Peace

Synopsis:

"Fidel our Liberator! Fidel our Savior!" So roared the crowds in January 1959, when Fidel Castro, with the aid of many Christians, swept into power in Cuba. But the church was soon stunned, as the bearded revolutionary suddenly turned communist. Church properties were confiscated, priests and pastors were expelled or sent to work camps, and religion in Cuba was headed for extinction.

Forty years later, Cuba's most prominent historians, pastors, church leaders and exiles tell the tragic yet triumphant saga of Christians in Castro's Cuba, and raise profound questions of politics and faith.

Includes rare archival footage and stunning new original cinematography of today's Cuba.

produced and directed by Matt Valentine and John Paget
