Join François-Xavier Drouet for L'Évangile de la Révolution, a powerful documentary where faith and social struggle intertwine at the heart of the Latin American revolutions.
Documentary by François-Xavier Drouet. France, Belgium. 1h55.
The revolutionary upsurge in Latin America in the 20th century owes much to the participation of millions of Christians, committed to political struggles in the name of their faith. Supported by liberation theology, they defied military regimes and oligarchies, risking their lives in the process. Reversing the idea of religion as the opium of the people, the film sets out to meet the men and women who believed that the revolution heralded the coming of the Kingdom of God, on earth rather than in heaven...
A screening in the presence of director François-Xavier Drouet and in partnership with CCFD Terre solidaire (Comité Catholique contre la Faim et pour le Développement).
7.15pm - Meeting in the cinema lobby at the CCFD stand
7:45pm - Screening in the presence of the director
