The Open Sky - A voice for peace in the shadow of war

As El Salvador teetered on the edge of civil war, Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero became the voice of a people caught between faith and fear. This insightful documentary retraces his legacy through his own words, letters, homilies, and radio transmissions, and through the stories of those who lived beside him in the tension of the times.

The film immerses viewers in the power of truth told aloud, revealing how Romero’s spiritual resistance echoed across a nation and left a mark far beyond his assassination. In a world still marked by violence and injustice, his voice continues to resonate.
