Famed actor and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson says Americans need be “mindful” of a government that undermines religious freedoms, and on July 18, he has a new movie coming out in theaters illustrating just how dangerous an overzealous government can be.

“Persecuted” is a dramatic, fictional thriller about a popular preacher who dares resist a new “religious unity” bill being pushed by powerful players in Congress. The preacher soon finds himself toppled from the pulpit and a fugitive on the run for his life, all for refusing to compromise his freedoms of speech and religion.

PERSECUTED – In theaters July 18th.  The film stars several recognizable faces, including Thompson, James Remar of TV’s “Dexter,” Bruce Davison of the “X-Men” films, Dean Stockwell of “Quantum Leap” fame and Fox News star Gretchen Carlson, to name a few.
