REPENTANCE, a 1984 Russian movie made in the Georgian province of the old Soviet Union, was banned for several years in its homeland because it exposes the evils of communism, statism and totalitarianism while lifting up the suffering Church and the triumphant, eternal Church of Christ Jesus. Christians should see and support REPENTANCE, which tells an allegory about the Soviet Union under Stalin by focusing on the story of a small-town communist mayor who tries to destroy all individuality and Christianity, but ends up destroying himself and his family.
