What is it? What’s it about?

Nationally acclaimed evangelist John Luther is the last obstacle in the way of sweeping religious reform in the States. When a U.S. Senator and Luther's own supporters abduct and frame him in the murder of an innocent teenage girl, an unprecedented era of persecution is unleashed. Out on personal recognizance, Luther escapes police surveillance in search of the truth. And suddenly a once-normal life is targeted by a team of ex-military operatives who wage a relentless campaign to eliminate the incriminating evidence. As evangelist turned fugitive, Luther vows to expose anyone involved with, or profiting from, the girl's murder. It's a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire American Christian community. Written by Daniel Lusko

saw the article about chuck u shummer and his religious freedom bill and it reminded me of this.

We're one day closer.

More people are starting to catch on that Obama and the the Left have one goal. It's the goal they have had since at least the French Revolution.

It's not power, per se.
It's not just the destruction of the family.
It's not just the destruction of the middle class.

The goal of the Left is to wage war against the Judeo-Christian God, and those who worship Him.

Oddly, IMDB lists TWO movies named “Persecuted” beling released this year. The other one is a cold war era thriller also relating to Christian persecution.

There's no need to frame a particular Christian. All they have to do is enforce the new laws they will pass with regard to expanding the Public Accommodations law to gays, banning "hate" speech, etc.

Then every Christian will find it impossible to run a business, attend school, keep a job, etc.

They will make homeschooling illegal or force parents to get certified. Certification will require teaching that being gay is OK. Parents who don't send their children to schools that teach gay is OK, or who don't homeschool their kids "properly" will be prosecuted for failure to educate their children properly.

Why go through all the trouble of framing one guy when you can make all Christians felons at the stroke of a pen?

...Out on personal recognizance...

Requires viewer suspension of disbelief; TPTB would never permit such a person a PR release.

I saw this last night.

I wanted to like this movie. I really did.

The movie spoke rightly about religious freedom, morality and Christianity. The heros were inspired evangelical Christians and Catholics. The enemies were some elements of the federal government and evangelical Christians who saw the ministry as a business.

But the movie was very disjointed. It was too formulatic. Not believable.

I give it a 3 out of 10: Not offensive, but not worth your time or your money.

Thanks for the review of Persecuted. Interesting. I’m planning on seeing it.
