09/29/2018 Horrifying documentary shows how brainwashing can affect normal people. See more 03/03/2018 As an evangelical/post evangelical, this documentary gives me hope. Hope for a world where Christians do not put guns before Jesus' purpose here on earth. See more 05/12/2016 PBS 5/10/16 An interesting doc with an interesting story line. Gun control, right to life, 2nd Amendment and Conservative Christian values. Some thought provoking themes and conversations. See more 10/31/2015 Amazing to witness the gun debates happening inside evangelical circles inspired by the 10 Commandments rather than the 2nd Amendment. A real conversion of conscious happens before your eyes. The most moving movie I have ever seen! Perhaps it will affect you too. See more Read all reviews
