Have you ever wondered what happened to the early Christiansafter the Book of Acts? What trials did they face andovercome? POLYCARP is like a journey to the past, giving usa glimpse of that world. A young slave girl, Anna, isrescued and adopted by Christians in the 2nd century Smyrnaand befriended by their aged bishop, Polycarp. As Anna istaught by Polycarp and her new family, she struggles toreconcile her beliefs with those of the Christians. When theRoman proconsul demands that all citizens worship Caesar toshow their allegiance to Rome, Polycarp and the Christiansmust find the courage to stand for their faith against thegrowing threat of persecution. Anna is forced to come togrips with the truth and choose whom she is willing to live- and die - for. Quotes about the film: ' POLYCARP issues acall that resonates with Joshua's mandate to 'choose youthis day whom you will serve.' This is a moving story ofsecond-century persecution, reminiscent of the persecutionmany believers face today.' The Kendrick Brothers,creators of Courageous, Fireproof, and Facing the Giants 'POLYCARP is a God-honoring, Christ-centered, and movingstory that will make you want to run with the divine messagewhile we still have the God-given liberty.' Ray Comfort,evangelist and best-selling author 'I appreciate how thismovie, based on the true historical account of the life ofPolycarp, challenges all Christians concerning what we mightdo in the face of persecution. Because Christianity isincreasingly under attack in our secularized Western world,POLYCARP is a must watch' for every Christian.'
