Red Terror on the Amber Coast

This is a trailer for a film produced by Fr. David O'Rourke of the Western Province, in association with Fr. Ken Gumbert, also of the Western Province. It gives you an idea of some of the horrors that many Europeans faced under communism and fascism.

Fr. Paul Wicker, the priest I live with when in Colorado Springs, just returned home from the Ukraine with similar stories - and with what amounts to a screen play for a similar movie about the suppression of the Catholic and Orthodox churches in that country.

The tragedy is that similar atrocities continue to occur in areas like Darfur, in Iraq between Sunnis and Shiites, North Korea, etc. Perhaps it's not Catholics or other Christians who are being persecuted, but their terror and suffering are just as real.
