10.0MAXIMÓN - Devil or Saint is a documentary about the controversial Maya deity, also known as San Simon or the drinking and smoking saint of Guatemala.

While both of these scenes are essential to the life as a sister, Light of Love takes a deeper look into understanding the call... the "why" of religious life.

What are the struggles of religious life? How have you seen God move through your ministry? These questions and others are addressed throughout the film.
