Ignacio de Loyola Glasgow Premiere

LAST NIGHT SAW THE SCOTTISH PREMIERE OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA

Starring RCS graduate Andreas Muñoz. This film is a modern and very human take on the story of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, often called ‘The Saint of Second Chances.’

As a brash, hot-headed soldier in a time of political upheaval in Spain, the young Iñigo went from living a life of brutal violence and debauchery, to becoming one of the greatest saints in the history of the Church. This film chronicles Iñigo’s torturous struggle to turn from darkness to light—a struggle that nearly destroyed him, but also gave him the key to a spiritual weapon that continues to save lives to this very day.

It was screened 10 May 2017, the first UK screening after the London premiere.
