And they paid the price for that moral stand for religious freedom.
Some went to jail. Some had their church buildings seized. Others faced both consequences.
Whether the pastors were gentle as lambs or roaring like lions, it didn't matter to the government. Their crimes were not of style or mannerism. Their crimes were obedience to their Biblical mandate to honour their sacred covenant to shepherd their flock. They would not bow before the golden calf of the state.

Kian Simone, our very talented chief documentary filmmaker and I have already been hard at work gathering interviews and travelling across the country to create a movie that the government doesn't want to be made. Kian joins me tonight to discuss the documentary's progress and why we both know we had to make it, no matter what.
