After seeing the low rating for Persecuted I didn't have much hope for the movie. Now that I've seen it, I'd say most of the low votes are from people who didn't watch it and/or are politically motivated to give low scores/poor reviews to any Christian themed movie or any movie that portrays the direction of the country in a negative light.
Without giving anything away, I will say I found myself thinking midway through the movie that 10 years or so ago you would have had to have been some type of conspiracy nut to take this seriously. Today as our Presidents follow the law less and less, various federal agencies are arming themselves to the teeth and the NSA spying on everyone domestic and foreign, it doesn't seem nearly as far fetched.
