The World Will Tremble (Prime Video) and Truth & Treason (in theaters)
Some weeks we need more than headlines. We need stories that stir our hearts, sharpen our courage, and remind us why we stand with Israel. These two films do exactly that. One is perfect for a cozy night in. One invites a night out with friends. Both spark the kind of conversations our community values.
The World Will Tremble
Based on a true story from the Nazi death camp Chełmno, a handful of Jewish prisoners risk everything to escape so the world will know the truth. The film is intense and beautifully acted. It carries a quiet, steady insistence that telling the truth is worth the cost.
“As long as we’re still breathing, there is hope.”
This story matters because it invites us to remember with purpose. It shows that courage is a choice long before it is a feeling. It also gives us a natural, compassionate way to talk about antisemitism today and why standing with Israel is still part of our calling.
If you are watching with a group, stream it together and talk about who showed courage and how. Ask what bearing witness looks like for us right now, online, at church, and with our kids.
Truth & Treason

This feature tells the true story of Helmuth Hübener, a 17-year-old who heard the lies of the regime and decided to act. He listened to forbidden broadcasts, printed leaflets, and spoke the truth when it was costly. The film lands like a gentle challenge to live what we say we believe.
“When loyalty to country becomes loyalty to a lie, one teen risks everything to expose the truth.”
This film matters because it turns faith into motion. Helmuth’s small daily decisions become a clear stand for truth, and his example opens the door to honest conversation about resisting lies and protecting the vulnerable, including the Jewish people he refused to ignore.
