An unassuming guitar playing padre, Miguel Pro, returns to Mexico from Europe. Faced with anti-clerical laws, the Padre goes underground in a daring attempt to keep the faith alive. His derring-do won the hearts and minds of his people at great personal cost. This is the true story of Padre Miguel Pro in 1920's Mexico.
