Overview

Gerardi is a Guatemalan film produced by the Human Rights Office of the Archbishopric of Guatemala and Moralejas films. It starred Jimmy Morales and depicts the most difficult moments of the Guatemalan civil war in the department of Quiché, when villages are being attacked and razed and the Catholic Church is being intimidated and forced to take sides. Monsignor Gerardi is bishop in that department, one of the departments of the Republic most affected by violence. His homilies then become public denunciations and he is forced to go into exile despite having the support of the Archbishop of Guatemala, Próspero Penados del Barrio.
