This Friday, Libera Nos: The Battle of the Exorcists hits Spanish cinemas. This film promises to impact both believers and non-believers by exploring the reality of exorcisms from the official perspective of the Catholic Church. Directed by Giovanni Ziberna and Valeria Baldan, this Italian production has been a success in its country, where more than 200 events have already been held around its screening.
This documentary film, produced by Sine Sole Cinema and distributed in Spain by Goya Producciones and European Dreams Factory, is presented as a unique and educational proposal for those seeking to understand more about exorcisms and the spiritual context of this practice. At a time when esotericism and occultism are proliferating, Libera Nos addresses these realities without sensationalism, showing contemporary spiritual challenges and the tactics of the devil according to the testimony of experienced exorcists.
An authentic and documentary approach to diabolical possession
Libera Nos adopts a docudrama format in which it combines interviews with practicing exorcists, as well as the intervention of psychiatrists and psychologists who are experts in the field, to present an objective and professional vision of the subject. The International Association of Exorcists (IAE), which brings together more than 900 members, has given its official support to the project, highlighting its formative value for the Church and the world.
The film includes the testimony of such relevant figures as Father Gabriele Amorth, one of the most recognized exorcists worldwide, whose figure remains relevant through his writings and recordings. In addition, Libera Nos offers a deep look at the most important questions about diabolical possession: who is the devil? How does he act? What does an exorcism really consist of? And when is a possession considered authentic?
An expected international release
In addition to the premiere in Spain, the film will arrive in Puerto Rico on October 31, with plans for its release in several Latin American countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and the United States, which confirms the global interest in an unprecedented production that addresses exorcisms with rigor and fidelity to the Catholic faith.
