Short summary

"The Gospel and Guatemala" investigates an evangelical church in Northern California, Gospel Outreach, that sent missionaries to Guatemala and converted a general, Efrain Rios Montt, who then took power in a military coup and led a brutal counter-insurgency war against a popular uprising.

The general investigated in "The Gospel and Guatemala," Efrain Rios Montt, has since been convicted of committing war crimes during his war against leftist guerrillas and indigenous people.

"The Gospel and Guatemala" was produced and released by KQED, San Francisco, in 1983, and subsequently aired nationally on PBS in 1985. It was the winner of a 1984 Golden Gate Award from the San Francisco International Film Festival.
