The Passion of Jacobina (2002)

In the 1870s, Jacobina, daughter of German immigrants to southern Brazil, starts to break with both the Catholic and Lutheran churches to preach physical healing through soul cleansing. After having a divine vision and speaking with Jesus, she suddenly changes her look and usual ways, disturbing the local, ultra-conservative population. After the death of a "mucker" and two others opposing her sect, the local authorities decide to act against her and her followers.
