Live Not By Lies is a four-part documentary series sharing the heroic stories of religious dissidents against Soviet totalitarianism.

Their urgent message for the contemporary West:

Comfort is the New Gulag.

While we may not face actual gulags or breadlines, the scourge of a new threat has gained a foothold in the United States and throughout the Western world. In the name of safety, security, and membership in "the system" that spoils you with advantages, we are asked to trade our rights, freedoms, and commitment to truth.

Through striking examples, the series looks at how language, history, and identity are under assault and what these dissidents can teach us as we prepare to resist mindfully. Regardless of the political system we find ourselves in, the core battle is always between truth and lies, a struggle as old as the human story.

Survivors of Soviet totalitarianism warn that “soft totalitarianism” is emerging in the U.S. Identity politics, censorship, surveillance, and secularism are encroaching on freedoms. Many American Christians fail to see the threat. Rod Dreher’s book Live Not by Lies explores these dangers and offers a wake-up call for thoughtful, faithful resistance to the erosion of liberties.
