Romero is a compelling and deeply moving look at the life of Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, who made the ultimate sacrifice in a passionate stand against social injustice and oppression in his county. This film chronicles the transformation of Romero from an apolitical, complacent priest to a committed leader of the Salvadoran people.

El Salvador’s landscape of systemic oppression and rising violence provides a volatile backdrop for a priest’s radical moral awakening. This portrait captures a quiet man’s transformation into a voice for the voiceless before the inevitable cost of his conviction.
