Tortured for Christ

Well done, well made, but kinda of took a huge nose dive at the end. The movie was atmospheric and brought you through a very solemn place but at the end it just did a 180 and had this band playing music like at a Mega Church. No disrespect to the band or song. Watch the movie, it's good and profound but the band at the end just shattered all the poignancy that the director effectively delivered. The band was just totally out of place. Hopefully the next movie won't have such a 180 at the end.

But a good movie to watch.

No doubt about it, Christianity and other religions or any kind of philosophy says that there's something beyond the material world had a bad time during the years of the Soviet Union. Tortured For Christ is based on the experiences and writings of Richard Wurmbrand who spent years in a Romanian prison for doing evangelical work in his country.

His experiences in a way parallel Nelson Mandela's in his country. The documentary is done and narrated with sincerity and reverence.

Should be seen in more than church basements.

"I have found truly joyful Christians in only three places: the Bible, in the Underground Church, and in prison." There is a living faith that enabled them, "to kiss their prison bars and rejoice in the fellowship of Christ's suffering." R. Wurmbrand

Hope everyone goes to see this! Powerful! Excited to see this amazing book come to life in this film. Help spread the word.

Being a Christian, I'm usually not a fan of Christian movies due to subpar acting and shallow storytelling. However, this dramatized documentary is an exception. Refreshingly gritty, unapologetically faith-filled and at times bloody, it tells the story of those who sacrificed themselves to spread the love of the God whom they worshiped and experienced intimately. They testify of their savior, Jesus, in whom they unwavering trust even in the midst of horrific torture. Now this is faith!
