Christian faith and its remarkable depths displayed in new film 'The 21'
Fox News
A new film, "The 21," recounts the beheadings 10 years ago of 21 Coptic Christians by ISIS radicals. But the film also displays the Christians' stunning faith in God, the film's producer said.
Producer Mandi Hart said, "I don't know that I'll ever get over imagining, in the course of 40-some-odd days of captivity, how many nanoseconds of opportunity they had to save their own lives. And to a man, all 21 of them were true to the end." "The fact that all of them were true to the end is just remarkable." "It’s one thing to talk about faithfulness. It’s another to see it demonstrated close up." On that sandy beach a decade ago, those men may have witnessed God’s holy army. Lauren Green currently serves as Fox News Channel's (FNC) chief religion correspondent based in the New York bureau. She joined FNC in 1996. Her new book is "Lighthouse Faith: God as a Living Reality in a World Immersed in Fog." She is host of Fox News Digital's "Spirited Debate."
Hart and the team at MORE Productions presented the 13-minute film at the International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C., last week. It was a jolting reminder of how the events of Feb. 15, 2015, shocked the world — one, for the sheer horror of its staging, and two, because the Islamic radicals filmed the brutal slayings.
