Organizing a film screening is an easy way to let the facts speak for themselves.
We recommend the newly-released documentary A Faith Under Siege, which offers a powerful view of the persecution faced by ordinary people under Russian occupation. The creators are making it available to screen for free!
You don’t need to rent a movie theater to hold a screening. No matter where you live, there is likely a community center or congregation in your area that will be willing to host a screening for free!
In a region once celebrated as the post-Soviet “Bible Belt,” a rapidly growing community of Evangelical and Protestant believers becomes a prime target under Russia’s expanding occupation – enduring seized churches, tortured pastors, and abducted children as they struggle to keep their faith alive in secret.
Holding a screening of this important film is EASY:
- Find a venue. This can be a movie theater near you, but it can also be a church, synagogue, library, university lecture hall – or anywhere with a lot of chairs, where you can bring in a projector!
- Fill out the form on the Faith Under Siege website. They’ll give you access to the film file, and a toolkit of materials you can use to let your community know about the movie screening
- Use the social media toolkit you’ll receive to spread the word!
- Invite your family, friends, and the rest of your community
- Let the local media know (easy instructions & templates here)
- Take photos at the screening event, and post them to social media with the hashtag #RussiasWarOnFaith
Do I have to pay to show this film? (No!)
The creators of A Faith Under Siege are generously making their film available for community screenings at no charge.
If you fill in the intent form to host a screening on their website, they will send you a complete screening kit, including the movie itself, and social media posts you can use to promote the screening in your community.
