Help Us Release the Reformation Documentary – Final Stage!

We are in the final stretch of producing our feature-length documentary on Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation for Ethiopians in Amharic and Afan Oromo language. After twenty two(22) months of planning, filming, writing, and editing, we are only 40 days away from releasing the full film worldwide on October 31, 2025 (Reformation Day).

Our small team has already come a long way:

- Already filmed and scripted the full documentary.
-Released two trailers on YouTube.
-Hosted a Reformation Day preview event in 2024 (which we will do continue this year as well).
-Built a volunteer crew of more than 3 editors and 1 sound designer and 1 Graphics designer.

Now, we just need some fund to complete this work for the people. We estimated around $1,000 to complete our baseline production costs.

Why This Film Matters

The Reformation was not just a historical event, it was about faith, courage, and truth. Luther’s stand reshaped the world and still speaks to us today.

By helping us finish this documentary, you’ll be part of:

-Sharing the Reformation story with new generations.
-Providing a resource for churches, schools, and Christian communities in Ethiopia.
-Celebrating the global impact of the Reformation on its anniversary.
