Capitol Hill Screening + Panel
On February 25th, we had the honor of hosting a screening of A Faith Under Siege at the Capitol Visitor Center on Capitol Hill.
It was a powerful night.
We gathered in the North Orientation Theater with Members of Congress, House and Senate staffers, NGO leaders, policy professionals, and members of the public who care deeply about religious freedom and the future of Ukraine. And the response to the film was both sobering and hopeful.
The documentary shines a light on what is happening to Christians living in Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine, in regions once known as the country’s “Bible Belt.” Churches seized. Priests expelled. Pastors tortured. Families forced underground to worship in secret.
These are not abstract headlines. They are real people, real communities, and real acts of courage.
Following the screening, we hosted a panel discussion moderated by Tracy Sabol, with insights from our panel of experts and others closely connected to the situation on the ground. The conversation was thoughtful, direct, and at times deeply emotional. There was a clear sense in the room that awareness must lead to action.
There was a shared understanding that the persecution of Christians in occupied Ukraine is not just a regional issue.
It is a moral one.
Events like this matter. Not because they are flashy or political, but because they create space for truth to be seen and heard at the highest levels of leadership.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, helped organize, and participated in the discussion. The momentum from this evening will continue as we expand screenings, share short films, and invite more people into the story.
This was more than a screening. It was a step forward in making sure these stories are not forgotten.
