González: The False Prophet(2014)
OVERVIEW
González lives in a dilapidated room in Mexico City, a lost soul in
one of the world’s biggest metropolises. Desperate to be someone
in life—and to pay off his debts—he embarks on a journey into the
increasingly magnetic world of big-box Christianity. Religion seems
to offer a quick path to becoming rich and soon González is willing
to do anything in his power in order to make it happen. A thriller that
evokes the gritty style of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Gonzalez:
The False Prophet is a suspenseful ride through the darker side of
charismatic preachers and upstart religions that flourish on the hardearned
money of desperate people in need of hope.
