A documentary highlighting the life of Bl Stanley Rother will be released in cinemas in the United States from August 25 to 27.
“American Martyr: The Stanley Rother Story”, a feature-length documentary narrated by Martin Sheen, tells the story of Bl Stanley Rother, a priest from Oklahoma who was murdered in Guatemala in 1981 while serving as a missionary.
“Blessed Stanley Rother's story begins in the fields of Oklahoma and leads to the mountains of Guatemala, where he gave his life in service to the people he loved,” said Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, Rother’s home diocese, in a press release.
