‘There be Dragons’ film out in movie theaters Nov. 9

There we were—Vic Lactaoen, a fellow writer, and I sniffling because we were crying while watching the film, “There be Dragons,” at the SM Mall of Asia Premiere cinema. Written and directed by Roland Joffe (believed to be an agnostic), the film tells the life of Father Josemaria Escriva (played by British actor Charlie Cox) during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and his escape with members of Opus Dei to Andorra through the Pyrenees mountains which divide Spain and France.
