Fabiola (Los Martires del Cristianismo, Mexico)

"Cinematografica grovas presenta". This poster is notable for the subtitle: “The Christian Martyrs,” and the strong Christian symbolism of the shining cross, neither of which are included in promotions for other international releases of the film. The poster may appeal to Mexican Catholics who looked upon Christian insurrectionists killed during the Cristero War against a secularizing government in the 1920s and 30s as being martyrs to the faith. Also, the images of the male and female martyrs are not the stars of the film. They look like Mexican models, again underscoring the film’s resonance with recent historical events in the country.
