The new movie that recounted the heart recounts the shines 10 years ago this week 21 Coptic Christians in the hands of Isis of Islamic radicals.
And yet the movie, simply the title “21”, also tells a strong story about The amazing faith of the martyrAs they were diligent to the end – and never once denied their Savior or death.
Producer Mandi Hart said, “I do not know that I will ever think of imagining myself, during the 40s of some days of captivity, how many opportunities the opportunity had to save their own lives. And to the man, all 21 of them were true to the end.”

Hart and team in the sea Productions presented a 13-minute movie on International Summit of Religious Freedom In Washington, DC, last week. It was a reminder of how events on February 15, 2015 shocked the world – one, because of the pure horror of its insination, and two, because the Islamic radicals recorded brutal murders.
As a way to soften the horror and improve the spirit of hope, “21” narrates the story through animation – covered with real ISIS propaganda recordings.
Ten years ago, Isis Radikal devoted 21 Coptic Christians. The new movie with animation tells of the story of the depth of the faith of men. (AP)
But the animation images give him a greater impact. Animation is in the style of Orthodox iconography – pictures Saints and Jesus It adorns icon, screens in front of the altar, on board, shrine and dome of every Orthodox Church in the world.
Hart said: “We knew we wanted a project that would reflect cultural recognition Coptic traditionespecially his iconography. ”
She called her “function”, as well as her architecture and community – and “symbolism, colors, forms and the way this iconography actually related to the creation of an icon.”
“The fact that everyone was true to the end is only extraordinary.”
In a recent episode Podcast “lighthouse”Producer Mandi Hart spoke more about creating “21” – and a transformative power of learning about what these people endured for their faith.

These were simple workers from Egypt, who worked in Libya, when the Isis members abducted and asked them to condemn their faith in Jesus Christ, the only condition to ensure their freedom.
The men refused. A month and a half, the men were tortured and abused. They then put them in orange overalls and paradated on a sandy hill where they were masked, radical who holds a knife lined up and seized their lives.
Terrorists hoped that “at least one of the people” would “recover – to save themselves” by denying Christ, “said the producer of the new movie” 21. ” “None of them are.” (East)
Hart said he was the most interesting part of the story actually in a new movie.
“They were actually one by one,” she said. “AND Isis did thathoping that … will be killed in this awful way to persuade at least one of the people to withdraw, to save himself by denial of Christ. And none of them are. And in fact, one of the men asked to be the last. ”
“One thing is to talk about fidelity. The other is to see how to show up close.”
Hart added with emotion: “No words [about] depth [their] faith. And that was extremely challenging and personally condemning. I can’t imagine myself in this position – and the fact that everyone was true is only extraordinary. “
Hart intentionally did not watch the ISIS shots. It was simply too much to take. But director Tod Polson did.

Said Fox News: “The original video made by ISIS is surreal. I only saw it once but …[it is] He burned me forever in my memory. It is as hearty as inspiring. Inspiring because the victim of the martyr is so overall. One thing is to talk about their loyalty. Second is to see how to get close. ”
Polson also said: “Many of Martyrs’ families Play the original ISIS video in your homes on a loop. One of the complaints they have is that ’21’ is not violent enough. They want people outside their community to know what their people have gone through. “

Isis recorded his nasty for the purpose of propaganda and power, believing that he would introduce a new caliphate for the glory of Islam.
But the transcripts from the interviews of the ISIS members conducted by the authorities found that there were other supernatural powers on that Sandy Hill.
This is new information.
On that sandy beach decades ago, these people could witness the Holy Army of God.
Hart said, “In interviews with former ISIS members, one specifically talks about earthquakes. He talks about shady figures that are seen and some figures worn by swords, and others dressed in certain ways follow martyrs, especially when they were martyrs on the beach .

And some scholars, Hart said, think they had millions of martyrs during the past.

At a time when it is more acceptable to publicly break the name of Jesus than to praise him, the film shows the strength of that name – and how men relied on it for power, for hope.
Hart referred to the greater good that came from such evil.
