Korea Rising exposes the rapid decline of religious freedom in South Korea by following the story of Pastor Hyun-Bo Son, who was cruelly imprisoned for five months in September 2025. Spotlighting the next generation of activists and putting faces to the courageous Koreans who are willing to risk prison and punishment to stand for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this film propels Americans to understand why religious freedom matters by emphasizing what Charlie Kirk also recognized in the days before his death: Korea is a beacon of freedom to Asia and the world against the creeping darkness of communism.




"When the church begins to suffer persecution, that is a church worthy enough of being persecuted. It is a threat to an unbelieving world.”
