<\/iframe><\/p>\nBased on true events that occurred in December 1531 when the Blessed Virgin Mary (Paola Baldion) appeared four times to Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin (1474-1548, played by Guillermo Iv\u00e1n), an indigenous Chichimec peasant, Lady of Guadalupe<\/span><\/em>\u00a0recounts this story in a way that celebrates not only the religious significance of this phenomenon but the cultural influence of the apparitions on and for Mexican identity and belief.<\/p>\nThe film moves back and forth between the present day and 1531 with Guillermo Iv\u00e1n playing both John, a skeptical reporter, and Juan Diego.\u00a0\u00a0John\u2019s editor Mr. Dominguez (Rudy Miera) asks him to write stories with Latino interest and faith, and encourages him to take a class on the subject. We also learn that John met his wife Mary (Kimberly Aria Peterson) while doing research at the library. They are now married and expecting a child. \u00a0Mary drops John off at the college where he listens to an expert about the apparitions and their meaning, Father Xavier Escalada (Glenn Craley). Mary continues on to her baby shower. A dramatic event follows that turns John\u2019s world upside down. The faith that he didn\u2019t know he had is tested.<\/p>\nWe then meet Juan Diego and his wife (also played by Peterson) and learn the story of how they and Juan\u2019s uncle Bernardino, are converted and baptized Christians. We see how the Spanish conquistadores oppress the people. When Bernardino becomes ill, Juan Diego goes for medicine and on the way encounters Our Lady. She asks Juan to go to the Franciscan bishop and ask him to build a chapel in her honor so that she might help people in their time of need. Juan Diego encounters challenges and his own sense of unworthiness. When the bishop asks for a sign so that he can be sure the message is from Our Lady, she proves it with a miracle that is with us today.<\/p>\nI saw the film while it was in post production and the final cut this past week. The film is a warm, faithful \u00a0and ultimately moving retelling of the story (using many actors who are known in the telenovela world!) \u00a0I think the parallel modern-day story is well done and gives the original story contemporary relevance. Watching it in this time of Covid-19 is especially comforting.<\/p>\nIt is never easy for an actress to portray the Virgin Mary without sentimentality and for filmmakers to imagine her in earthly tones, but this year Joana Ribeiro did it well in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncronline.org\/news\/opinion\/new-fatima-film-ushers-pop-drive-ins-during-pandemic\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cFatima\u201d<\/a> and now Paola Baldion accepts the mantle of playing the Mother of God and does it well in \u201cLady of Guadalupe.\u201d The film is directed by Pedro Brenner and co-written by Brenner and Seann Dougherty.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A beautiful new film about the story of
