Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure

Kirk Cameron has demonstrated that he is not only a committed performer, he is also a committed family advocate. The movie is not about family but it shows how the early American settlers and the forefathers of the Declaration of Independence thought about family, morality and what it takes to be a solid society. Unfortunately, due to Kirk Cameron's well known association with some Christian film productions, it is unlikely that this documentary appeal to a broad spectrum of the American public. This is truly unfortunate as it is a film that should be seen and even presented in schools for discussion.

Some academics who are trying to protect their revisionist perspectives on early American history are clearly exposed by undeniable evidence. Not constructed or concocted evidence but clear historical evidence which can only be fully appreciated after seeing this documentary. I'm with Kirk Cameron, "as for me and my family...we choose..."

Did you know that our U.S. Congress paid to produce Bibles and put them in homes. HARVARD's motto was "Christ and Truth." And on and on with FACTS from historians that we've never heard before. Remember a certain president saying "America is not a Christian nation" and idiots saying our country was found on religious freedom and not the Bible. That the founders were against Christianity and its tenants. Well, half of them were ordained ministers, so ... the liberals that are spreading the lies are WRONG. Why has this movie been out for two years and gotten great reviews and is not on NETFLIX? I've requested it four times in the last four years. Interesting. Watch this movie and learn. A great movie.

An eye-opening history of our republic & should be seen by every American-loving citizen from 10 to 100. Excellent history lesson which has been largely ignored by our educators.

First off, kudos to Kirk Cameron for speaking truth into the culture at its time of need. I was eager to see this, but waited long after its DVD release before getting around to view it. Unfortunately I found it largely a waste of time.

The film is Cameron's look into America's past to answer the crises that face America today. He finds the answers, but the journey is simply not that interesting. He goes to England, Holland, and Massachusetts to learn about the Pilgrims. There's not much new material here for anyone that knows much about the Pilgrims. There are a few anecdotes that are interesting, but the bulk of it is slow and plodding.

Cameron speaks with a few authorities on history and Christianity, but few are given much time to say anything of any real insight. If you're a Bible-believing, church-attending Christian, you should already know pretty much everything in this movie. If you don't, you need to find a new church.

The content is good, but it is grade-school material. This movie may be a good introduction to the Pilgrims and American history for an elementary-age child, but it is remedial for adults and simply put a waste of time for them.

I was greatly disappointed with this film. I would avoid this one. You're much better off reading a good book or going to bed early.

I use this in my classroom to set the tone for American History. We can not hide behind a false understanding of our history and expect our children just believe whatever is said in the world. They must be rooted in the truth and see that our founders understood the costs that may lie ahead, and that we must put faith first so that we can make good and proper decisions. Man will make mistakes along the road of life... that should be understood, but we must try and correct our path when light is shed upon the falsehoods and failures we experience. Sometimes it hurts to see what we really are and where we come from, but that is what we must understand if we are to see where we came from.
