This documentary chronicles the story of those who were willing to die for their faith. In the several hundred year period after the crucifixion of Christ, His followers were an unestablished, and often persecuted band of believers. As they set forth to spread their faith, they often met with derision, resistance, and death. Like Paul of the New Testament during Christ's own time, many subsequent disciples of Christianity were imprisoned. Others were executed. All refused to decry the Christ for their own sakes. That tradition has continued down through the centuries. This film looks at some of the faithful, from Thomas More to Catholic priests in the New World. Their stories are testaments to the depth of their convictions.
