“𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆𝗿: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆,” a feature-length documentary narrated by acclaimed actor Martin Sheen, tells the true story of an American priest who was murdered for refusing to abandon his people. Born on an Oklahoma farm, Father Stanley Rother left to serve the Indigenous Tz’utujil people of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, during the country’s brutal civil war. Immersing himself in the life of the community, he learned their language, shared their suffering, helped translate the New Testament into Tz’utujil and became a beloved spiritual father to the people he served. As violence and persecution closed in, Father Stan became convinced that “the shepherd cannot run,” and he returned to Guatemala from the U.S. knowing it could cost him his life. Only months later, masked gunmen broke into his rectory and murdered him. “American Martyr” reveals the witness of Blessed Stanley, whose courage, sacrificial love and unwavering faith continue to inspire audiences around the world.

Narrated by Martin Sheen, American Martyr: The Stanley Rother Story is in theatres August 26 & 27. Discover the true story of a priest who gave his life for his people.
