Liberation

Directed by David Kirk West

With Travis Wolf, Lucas Wolf and Steve Schwartz

In a dystopian near future where the separation of Church and state has been abolished and a tyrannical theocracy now rules, a young Military Police officer faces a crisis of conscience after his brother—a radical anti-government pastor—gets black-bagged for speaking out against the regime. "Liberation" was created for the 2013 168 Film Project, a Christian speed film-making competition. Teams had 10 days to write and plan a film based around their assigned Bible verse (Exodus 30:16, in the case of liberation), and 7 days to film and edit it.
