Yes, the mother of all necro-bumps.

The film didn't do well commercially, and it can easily be had on DVD at Dollar Tree for $1.25 (at least where I live).  I did buy a copy.

A good film well worth watching.

It managed to be good (not great) in spite of itself. The main problem was that the writers compulsively wrote in plugs for religious liberty. However, they weren't hopelessly committed to this problem, as everyone who dies manages to die for Christ (rather than religious liberty). But there is a persistent inconsistent between what the characters say they're fighting for and what their actions prove they're fighting for.

I saw the movie several years ago. My personal opinion, theatrically speaking, the movie was done very well. The martyrdoms were very heart-wrenching and inspiring. However, the issue I had was that the Cristeros were not fighting for the error of Religious Freedom. They were fighting for the preservation of the Catholic State, which was under attack by Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ who took over the government at the time.

Yeah. You are right.  The fight of then is the fight of now.
