The rural rebellion was instigated as a response to President Plutarco Elias Calles, who sought to eliminate the power of the Catholic Church. Almost 100 years later Dr Mark Lawrence has explored the country&#8217;s memory of the war and delves into the different motivations of those involved and the innocent civilians who are the forgotten victims caught in one of Mexico&#8217;s bloodiest civil wars.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday 11 June, Dr Lawrence, along with a panel of experts, held a live virtual premiere of the documentary, &#8216;La Cristiada &#8211; A Civil War&#8217;, with a panel discussion along with Dr Nathaniel Morris (Leverhulme Research Fellow, UCL) and Dr Ben Fallow (Colby College, Maine &#8211; USA).<\/p>\n<p>You can re-watch the discussion here:<\/p>\n<div class=\"kent-video-wrapper\"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='560' height='315' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7tsamGQ4tcc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School of History academic Dr Mark Lawrence has launched a research documentary with an event featuring a live panel discussion.
