"A Cry From Iran” is a powerful true documentary revealing the story of Iranian Christian martyrs who risked everything for their faith. When an Iranian man is sentenced to death for converting to Christianity, Pastor Haik Hovsepian exposes the injustice—sparking international pressure and a dramatic rescue. Produced by the martyr’s sons, the film captures the courage of Iran’s underground church through hidden camera footage, sacrifice, and a message of love triumphing over persecution.

“The Cross: Jesus in China” is a groundbreaking documentary that uncovers how Christianity not only survived—but flourished—under communist rule. Through rare footage and firsthand accounts, it explores the dramatic rise from 700,000 believers in 1949 to approximately 70 million today [as of 2003]. This four-hour film spans generations of Chinese Christians, from early martyrs to modern-day house church leaders, highlighting their courage, suffering, and spiritual revival. From farmers to scientists, their stories reveal a resilient faith shaping lives across all levels of Chinese society.

In 1866, Welsh missionary Robert Jermain Thomas left Britain to share God’s Word in China and Korea. When his ship was attacked near Pyongyang, he came ashore carrying Bibles and offered them, even to the soldier who took his life. His martyrdom became the seed of the Korean revivals of 1903 and 1907, as many who encountered him—or whose families did—became early leaders in the growing Christian movement. Today [as of 2024], more than 16 million Christians in Korea trace their spiritual heritage to that single act of faith. Servant of Christ is a powerful documentary recounting the remarkable story of Thomas’s sacrifice and the enduring impact of the Gospel in Korea.
