The movie, Persecuted, opens in only two theaters on Friday, Superstition Springs and Arizona Mills.
Why do we care? Because the movie is about nationally acclaimed evangelist John Luther as the last obstacle in the way of sweeping religious reform in the States. When a U.S. Senator orders Luther abducted and framed for the murder of an innocent teenage girl, an unprecedented era of persecution is unleashed with Luther running for his life to uncover the deadly plot. As evangelist turned fugitive, Luther vows to expose anyone involved with or profiting from the girl's murder; a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire Christian community in America.
This is fiction based on what is actually happening world wide to Christianity. A faith based movie such as this needs to be seen so that more will be made and find their way into the hearts of Americans.
Harkins is screening this movie in these two theaters but if you call Harkins and ask for a wider screening so they know there is an audience for this movie, perhaps they will relent and give it more theaters.

Contact the filmmaker:
Naomi at Harkins nicely explained that the movie theatres don't control the screens where the movie is rolled out. She says it's the call of the independent movie companies to make this decision. She thinks depending on the draw this weekend, it will be shown more widely in a few weeks.
She mentioned that it's much better for people to contact the movie studio directly with comments.
