On Friday, October 26th, bella premiered in select theaters nationwide. It opens in more theaters on November 9. If it's in your city, please support this excellent life affirming film. We talked with several people from the movie last week in Washington DC and they are praying for a large turnout.
Eduardo Verástegui is one of the main characters. For years he was a hugely successful soap opera star and singer, "the Brad Pitt of Mexico." But after experiencing a deeper commitment to his Roman Catholic faith, Verástegui began to regret his part in reinforcing adulterous "Latin lover" stereotypes. In a speech this past May to the annual pro-life Rose Dinner in Ottawa, Verástegui said that some of his earlier work had sent messages that are "poisoning society." He went on, "It broke my heart. I realized that I was offending God." He summed up, "I wasn't born to be famous or rich. I was born to know and love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ." - Christianity Today
