NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Turmoil and
hardships often cultivate outstanding character. Releasing in
theaters Nov. 8-10, Fathom Events' latest special,
"Sabina: Tortured for Christ, the Nazi Years," tells the
powerful true story of Sabina (Oster)
Wurmbrand and her husband, Richard. Sabina and Richard Wurmbrand are the co-founders
of the nonprofit The Voice of the Martyrs - an
interdenominational missions organization that serves persecuted
Christians around the world.
"Richard and Sabina were exemplary Biblical disciples. Their
story pushes each of us to rethink our concept of forgiveness and
what it looks like to love our enemies as Jesus instructed," said
Todd Nettleton, Chief of Media
Relations and Message Integration for The Voice of the Martyrs—USA
and host of VOM Radio. "Sabina's life is ultimately a
testament of how God's love can transcend pain and struggle—and
even transform the lives of those around us. This story is truly
inspiring. It will encourage every viewer to be transformed from
the inside out by the power of God."
Set during World War II and spanning the years between
1938 to 1944, the film will take viewers on a journey through
Romania to discover why Sabina, a
Jewish Christian, would risk her life to offer a kind hand to
German soldiers—enemies who killed her entire family.
"Sabina" conveys the realities of religious persecution and
the cost of following Christ when faith is forbidden.
"Making a period piece like 'Sabina' was a delightful
artistic challenge – recreating what Romania looked like in the 1930's and 40's
down to every fine detail like fashion, automobiles and
storefronts," said Director John
Grooters. "But even more substantially, I find Sabina Wurmbrand to be one of the greatest women
of the 20th century, and it's a joy getting to introduce her to
modern audiences."
Winner of Best Feature, Audience Choice and Best Original Film
Score awards at the recent Christian Worldview Filmmakers Guild and
Festival, "Sabina," which was filmed on-site in Romania and produced by a Romanian
crew, is receiving high praise and recognition.
"Sabina" is a prequel to The Voice of the Martyrs,'
"Tortured for Christ" film which focuses on the inspiring story of
Sabina's husband Richard Wurmbrand
as he endured 14 years of prison and torture while never ceasing to
shine the light of Christ even in the darkest of places.
The film features an original song "It Is Well" from modern
hymn-writers Keith and Kristyn
Getty. The Getty's reinvent traditional hymns that teach
Christian doctrine by crossing the genres of traditional,
classical, folk and contemporary music composition.
"It has been our great privilege to partner with The Voice of
the Martyrs on their upcoming film, 'Sabina: Tortured for Christ,
the Nazi Years.' This stirring story of faith and triumph in the
midst of adversity and the courage of the Wurmbrands in the face of
unspeakable evil is an urgent call to believers everywhere to fight
the good fight of faith and build the Kingdom of Christ, no matter
the opposition," said Keith and Kristyn
Getty. "We highly recommend you get your friends, family or
church together to share in this amazing experience."
Tickets are now available for purchase. Individual ticket
purchasers may also claim a free copy of "Wurmbrand: Tortured for
Christ, The Complete Story," which provides a more in-depth
look into the Wurmbrands' story, via the film's website at

Wurmbrands are offered free with group ticket sales
"Religious persecution is real and is still happening today,"
said Nettleton. "There are modern-day Richard and Sabina Wurmbrands
right now living out their own stories of faith, suffering and
forgiveness. As Christians, we must not allow fear to stop us from
boldly proclaiming the gospel and extending Christ's grace and love
to all."
"Sabina: Tortured for Christ, the Nazi Years" will
show in theaters nationwide on Nov.
8, 9 and 10, following the observance of the International
