What happens when a faith built on love, sacrifice, and forgiveness grows political tentacles, conflating power, money, and belief into hyper-nationalism?
Christian nationalism is the belief that America should be defined as a Christian nation, with government adherence to this ideology. God & Country takes a closer look at the dangerous implications and explores how a base of Christians has radically stoked a movement erasing the line between Church and State.
From director Dan Partland and producer Rob Reiner, this new film looks at the ways Christian Nationalism distorts not only our constitutional republic, but Christianity itself.
On producing the film, Reiner says, “I think it’s important for Americans to understand that Christian nationalism, which is a dangerous distortion of the teachings of Jesus, was at the core of the January 6th attack on our Capitol, and it is a danger to our democracy.”
Featuring prominent Christian voices, including Bishop William Barber, God & Country charts the alarming rise of Christian Nationalism and its threat to American democracy.
God & Country opens February 2024. Visit godandcountrythemovie.com to learn more.
