Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Miguel Zacario primarily worked in Mexican television; this was his rare theatrical release, shot on a budget that wouldn't cover craft services on a modern faith-based film.

Cultural

The 2.0 TMDB rating reflects secular audiences discovering it, not its intended church-group demographic who likely wore out their VHS copies through sheer reverent repetition.
