Overview

For Greater Glory

Part of the Movies that Matter with Hal Conklin film series.

Dean Wright and Michael Love bring to the screen the inspiring and tragic story of the Cristeros War in Mexico (1926-29) where the government tried unsuccessfully to rid the country of the influence of the Catholic Church. While the facts may be distinctly tied to a period of Mexican history, the imagery and evil portrayed is universal.

(2012) 145 minutes R

Join former Santa Barbara mayor and film critic Hal Conklin for a selection of great stories that touch the soul and draw out the best in humanity. These stories teach about forgiveness, loving others, and loving ourselves, and provide a renewed enthusiasm for living life with compassion and grace. Drawn from the syndicated film series “Cinema In Focus,” these presentations will blend together great film with audience conversations and Q&A.

PADRES CREANDO SUEÑOS (Parents Creating Dreams) was founded in 2014 as an opportunity for families living on the Westside to develop and sustain resources for children and youth in their neighborhood. The team is comprised entirely of adult Westside residents and has started a one-on-one neighborhood tutoring service and a volunteer literacy support team at Harding Elementary School on the Westside. The Westside contains the highest population-density tracts in Santa Barbara as of the 2010 census, and the fewest number of health & human services of all the county’s noted “high risk” neighborhoods. The neighborhood also has one of the highest populations of Latino residents in the city. Members of the Padres Creando Sueños team are familiar with the systemic challenges presented by their neighborhood, but are committed to using their strengths to promote positive change for families in their community.
