Justice for "Romero" The influential and compelling film, "Romero", directed by John Duigan, portrays the life and death of Archbishop Oscar Romero. The film shows the world through the eyes of the Salvadoran people in the 1980s, when poverty and military rule flourished over the population. The country of El Salvador was run by an elite group of few who controlled much of the power and money, leaving the majority of the population deprived and powerless. This imbalance in the social system left much of the population under oppression, constantly controlled by the corrupt government, and sometimes even persecuted when they tried to speak out. The church witnessed human rights violations and this ruthless behavior of the Salvadoran government towards its people sparked a spark in the Catholic Church, a spark that lit a flame of justice. Led by Archbishop Romero, the Church of El Salvador becomes critical of the government, not in political terms but because they are Christians who seek justice for all people; so that all people have the potential to live life to its fullest meaning without unnecessary obstacles holding them back. The film “Romero” consistently portrays how the ideology of liberation theology plays an important role in the church's influence on the government, the oppressed, and the military in the pursuit of social righteousness. “Romero” is set in Latin America, in a country called El Salvador in the 1980s, when poverty and corruption infested much of the four corners of the country.
