Important Examination of Evangelicalism and Nationalism in the U.S.

This documentary looks at American nationalism and how many of those who are radically conservative also claim Christianity. Along the way, it looks at militarism, Trump, political power, racism, and toxic masculinity. The documentary is a critique of this point of view. (While these are separate issues, obviously people who believe one often hold to the rest as well.) It achieves its goal primarily through a series of interviews of a number of Christian thought leaders.

While the message is important and pertinent, unfortunately the images left a lot to be desired. Most of the "b-roll" and video not of a specific interview was filmed with a hand-held camera. It was so shaky as to appear to have been captured on a cell phone. Fortunately, the audio was good and the message comes through in this way.
