Monseñor: The Last Journey of Óscar Romero (Monseñor: El último viaje de Óscar Romero)
Appointed Archbishop in early 1977, Monseñor Óscar Romero worked tirelessly and in constant personal peril until the day he was assassinated in March 1980. Romero broke off ties with the military and aligned himself with the poor, delivering messages of hope in weekly sermons which became national events in his country of birth, El Salvador.
With rare recordings and film footage from Romero’s own collection and a wide range of interviews from those whose lives were changed by Archbishop Romero, including church activists, human rights lawyers, former guerrilla fighters and politicians, this documentary is a timely portrait of one individual’s quest to speak the truth.
