L’Évangile de la révolution
The Gospel of Revolution
by François-Xavier Drouet
The first feature-length documentary dedicated to liberation theology and the participation of Christians in revolutionary struggles in Latin America.
Currently available in the original French version (with subtitles for other languages) and in Portuguese; the Italian version (subtitles) will also be available soon.
The film has already been screened in France, Switzerland and Rio de Janeiro, where it received a standing ovation in a packed theatre for the South American premiere!

Here are some comments from Geneva
Geneviève “… Gilbert and I went to see the film… Gilbert was very impressed and I must say that I too had no idea of the strength with which these populations had to fight to make themselves heard, and some were unsuccessful. Being Protestant, I had never taken the time to delve into the history of liberation theology. This film is magnificent…
Jacqueline “… the Grütli theatre was full. The cinema cashier even had to turn some people away. This documentary allows us to remember the various political and social events that took place in South America, a region with which we are not very familiar. The religious leaders of that period were courageously committed to helping the poorest members of society. It remains a powerful testimony.
What a job the director did collecting and assembling documents! Impressive.”
