God & Country

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.

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.

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.

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&#59; nation.)

God & Country preaches to the choir, but with a call to action...

It’s commendable that the film takes this problem seriously and practically, providing a sense of hope for those of us given to despair.

Does Partland's God & Country preach to the secular choir? Not entirely. Some of the best voices in this volatile documentary are raised by people of faith...

Impassioned but lucid and not hysterical.

The Body Snatcher movies are scary enough already but to witness the history of systematic brainwashing coarse through politics and the distortion of religion is a reality it cannot match.

Polemics aside, this very worthy, frightening and effective documentary is an illuminating explanation of the who, the what and the why of this national trend towards an increasingly right wing ideology.
