Broadcast Premiere May 10 on CBN News
Hunted, beaten, silenced by Russia—yet unbroken. ‘A Faith Under Siege’ tells the defiant story of Ukraine’s Christians.
WASHINGTON DC, April 29, 2025. – A Faith Under Siege: Russia’s Hidden War on Ukraine’s Christians, will make its broadcast premiere on the CBN News Channel, the news division of the Christian Broadcasting Network, on May 10 at 8:00 pm EDT.
Produced by Colby Barrett, with executive producers Steven Moore and Anna Shvetsova, A Faith Under Siege takes viewers to the front lines of the harrowing reality facing Ukraine's Christian communities under Russian occupation, who have endured the seizure of their churches, the torture of their pastors, and the abduction of their children. A Faith Under Siege reveals Putin’s violent assault on religious freedom, while showcasing the unwavering resolve of believers – pastors, aid workers, missionaries - who risk everything to keep faith alive.
Prior to the broadcast premiere on CBN News, A Faith Under Siege will debut at Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. on May 6 at 6:00pm. RSVP to attend in person here.
Following the Saturday, May 10 premiere at 8:00pm EDT on the CBN News Channel, the film will re-air:
Saturday, May 10 at 11:00pm EDT; Sunday, May 11 at 12:00pm and 8:00pm EDT; and Monday, May 12 at 8:00pm and 11:00pm EDT.
A Faith Under Siege premieres as Russia intensifies its bombing campaign against Ukrainian civilians, and just weeks after Russia’s Palm Sunday ballistic and drone attack on Sumy, Ukraine that killed 35 civilians, including women and children, and injured over 100 more who were attending church services.
“We are incredibly grateful to the CBN News Channel for premiering A Faith Under Siege,” said Colby Barrett, the film’s producer. “Seeing how Christians in Ukraine have persevered in the face of torture, drone attacks, and even abductions of their children at the hands of invading Russian forces strengthened my own faith, and I’m so excited to bring their stories to fellow believers. CBN is the ideal platform to elevate their testimony among the American public and highlight this powerful demonstration of resilience and faith.“
“The CBN News Channel is committed to telling stories that are of importance to Christians around the world,” said Gordon Robertson, CEO of the Christian Broadcasting Network. “Our CBN News team has reported from Ukraine and also witnessed the resolve of these Christians, which is told so brilliantly in A Faith Under Siege. We are pleased to host the premiere of this documentary in hopes of bringing this largely underreported crisis to American viewers.”
