Hunted, beaten, silenced by Russia - yet unbroken. ‘A Faith Under Siege’ tells the defiant story of Ukraine’s Christians
Provo, UT—September 23, 2025—Updated September 24, 2025
Angel (NYSE: ANGX), an unprecedented media and technology company driven by 1.5 million grassroots Angel Guild members championing values-based stories, is announcing the release of a gripping new series A Faith Under Siege. The four-part series shines a bright light on the large community of Ukrainian Evangelical believers which has become a prime target of Russian aggression. A Faith Under Siege series will premiere tomorrow on September 25, exclusively on the Angel platforms.
“The horrific treatment of Ukrainian Christians under Russian occupation is one of the war’s most overlooked tragedies,” said Jared Geesey, Chief Distribution Officer of Angel. “This series resonated deeply with the Angel Guild, and we hope it will bring millions more to recognize, and be inspired by the faith and bravery of Ukraine’s Christian community.”
Produced by Colby Barrett, with executive producers Steven Moore and Anna Shvetsova, A Faith Under Siege takes viewers to one of the most urgent and overlooked battlefields of the war in Ukraine—the fight for the survival of the Church. In Russian-occupied regions, Evangelical and Protestant believers are facing a systematic campaign to silence their faith. Churches have been raided, seized, or destroyed. Pastors have been tortured. Children have been stolen. Through powerful first-hand testimonies, A Faith Under Siege uncovers the harrowing experiences Ukrainian pastors, families, and children have faced under Russian occupation and how their faith has kept them going against all odds.
“We are incredibly grateful that the A Faith Under Siege series is available exclusively on Angel,” said producer Colby Barrett. “Witnessing how Christians in Ukraine have held firm through torture, drone attacks, and even the abduction of their children by invading Russian forces has deepened my own faith. I’m thrilled that Angel will provide a platform where their testimony can inspire believers across the country and illuminate their extraordinary resilience, courage, and faith.”
