Based on real-life events long-hidden, FOR GREATER GLORY is set in 1920 Mexico after the clergy gain power post-Mexican revolution.  Another civl war erupts when Roman Catholics are persecuted by the government resulting in the Mexican people revolting against the government.  In FOR GREATER GLORY,  Academy Award® nominee Andy Garcia lead the revolution as General Gorostieta, a  retired military man who at first thinks he has nothing personal at stake as he and his wife (Longoria) watch Mexico fall into a violent civil war.  Yet the man who hesitates in joining the cause will soon become the resistance’s most inspiring and self-sacrificing leader, as he begins to see the cost of religious persecution on his countrymen . . . and transforms a rag-tag band of rebels into a heroic force to be reckoned with.  The General faces impossible odds against a powerful and ruthless government.  Yet is those he meets on the journey – youthful idealists, feisty renegades and, most of all, one remarkable teenager named Jose – who reveal to him how courage and belief are forged even when justice seems lost.

Besides Garcia and Longoria,  Oscar Isaac (DRIVE), recording star and actor Ruben Blades (SAFE HOUSE), Bruce Greenwood (STAR TREK, SUPER 8), Nestor Carbonell (THE DARK NIGHT RISES), Bruce McGill (LINCOLN), Santiago Cabrera (“Heroes,” CHE), Oscar®-nominated Catalina Sandino Moreno (MARIA FULL OF GRACE) and Eduardo Verástegui (BELLA) round out the cast. Behind the cameras, Hollywood effects guru turned director Dean Wright brings his expertise from films such as TITANIC, THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and CHRONICLES OF NARNIA.  Written by Michael Love, the film was shot on historic locations throughout Mexico with a team that includes  director of photography Eduardo Martinez Solares (BAD HABITS), Oscar®-nominated editor Richard Francis-Bruce (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, SEVEN, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE), production designer Salvador Parra (VOLVER) and Oscar®-winning composer James Horner (AVATAR, TITANIC, BRAVEHEART).
