On March 24, 1980, Archbishop Óscar Romero was celebrating Mass in a small chapel in San Salvador when a gunshot ended his life. What happened next sparked one of the deepest controversies in the recent history of the Catholic Church.
For decades, his recognition as a martyr remained blocked while questions grew about his assassination, those who masterminded it, and the institutional silence surrounding his case.
In this documentary, you will learn the complete story of Óscar Romero: from his early years as a priest to becoming the most thorny voice in El Salvador's side. We will analyze historical documents, testimonies from the time, the political context of the Cold War in Latin America, and the reasons why his beatification took almost four decades.
Was he merely a victim of political violence? Why did the Church take so long to officially recognize his martyrdom? What did the documents declassified years later reveal?
A story of faith, power, persecution, and memory that continues to raise questions to this day.
