In the end, however, the unpleasant truth is that there's not a lot to see here that you can't absorb by going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole or watching "The Daily Show" or "Last Week Tonight" or Rachel Maddow. Go to Full Review

A bracing primer on the rise of this political movement that should thoroughly scare the large majority of American adults who don’t embrace it. Go to Full Review
Nicolas Rapold New York Times 02/15/2024
The film’s insights about the role of religion in politics feel especially well-informed because many of its commentators draw on their own personal and professional experiences with the Christian church. They’re believers, too, and they’re worried. Go to Full Review

Dan Partland’s fierce, fighting-trim [film] asks, what happens when faith becomes a weapon in the form of Christian nationalism, and what is endangered then. (Religion; nation.) Go to Full Review

John M 02/26/2024 As an individual who was raised as a conservative Catholic, is increasingly alarmed at the rise of Christian nationalism and Donald Trump, and the combined impacts on the United States as a constitutional republic, I found this documentary to be simultaneously insightful, informative, and alarming. Without spoiling too much of the plot, this documentary walks viewers through the history and rise of Christian nationalism in the United States going back several decades, puts everything in context, involves interviews with notable players in the evangelical and journalistic communities, and even includes a constitutional legal analysis of the First Amendment as it relates to religious freedom and the intent of the Founding Fathers, as well as the risks which Christian nationalism poses to American democracy. This documentary is absolutely worth watching if you are alarmed at all at the increasing dysfunction in the United States Congress (both House and Senate) and the actions of politicians such as Speaker Mike Johnson, considering his ardent belief in the Seven Mountain Mandate. See more RB 02/25/2024 Very well done! Appreciate the people in the movie are all religious and constitution experts, most being conservative Christians, ensuring this is not an attack on Christianity, not just from a singular liberal view, but instead is a revealing picture of the political motives of Christian Nationalism over the last 50+ years. The bombshells and eye opening revelations are both frightening and empowering against the threat to democracy and Christianity as a whole! See more Stacy 02/17/2024 This documentary was done well. Scary as hell, though! I loved that the theatre was more than half full. See more Carol 02/17/2024 Very powerful but always balanced look at the origins and rise of Christian Nationalism in the US. See more Alysha S Jun 18 4.55. If you thought you knew everything about the Christian nationalist threat to America, you may be surprised. See more Jack B Mar 23 Must watch. Disturbing times we are living in with these demented beliefs of the right. See more Read all reviews
