The Perpetua story

DVD 2019

It is the year AD 203 in Carthage, North Africa. Perpetua, an affluent young mother, is charged with converting to Christianity and is sent to prison without her baby. Her freedom would be secured easily, if she'll simply offer one pinch of incense in honor to the Roman gods. What will her decision be? Perpetua's diary captures one of the most influential, true stories of the Early Church.
