Political Drama Persecuted Begins Production in Midst of Government Scandals

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - July 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Persecuted is the story of a contemporary evangelist (John Luther) played by SAG Award nominated and Saturn Award winning actor: James Remar (X-Men: First Class, Dexter, Django:Unchained, What Lies Beneath, RED, Cotton Club-with Francis Ford Coppola, who "...considers James one of the finest actors out there") is standing as the last hold out for a national endorsement to make sweeping reforms in freedom of speech.

As the government is mandating political correctness while covertly waging a war against religious organizations, a U.S. Senator, Oscar-nominated actor, Bruce Davison (X-Men, Lost Castle) and his political allies create a sinister plan of denial and scandal to frame John Luther for murder. Suddenly his once normal life is turned as he becomes a fugitive vowing to expose those responsible. It is a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the moral ethics and freedoms of America.

Producing with Lusko is Oscar winning producer: Gray Frederickson (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) along with Line Producer, Brent Morris (Monster, Frank and Unknown starring Jim Caviezel).
