Jose Maria Oliveira, a Spanish filmmaker who explored deep LDS doctrine, dies

Filmmaker Jose Maria Oliveira, known for his unique LDS cinema, has died at age 91. Oliveira's films explored deep church doctrine, including themes of death and the afterlife, diverging from typical faith-based movies. He was also instrumental in establishing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Spain. His work, though largely forgotten, is being rediscovered, with some hailing him as an "unknown giant" of LDS cinema for his mature and complex storytelling.
