‘God & Country’ Documentary Exposes Christian Nationalism’s Threat to Democracy

The film, produced by Rob Reiner and directed by Dan Partland, delves into the political movement’s rise and its impact on U.S. society.

Overview

  • ‘God & Country’ begins and ends with footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, highlighting Christian Nationalism's role.
  • The documentary argues that Christian Nationalism is a political movement aiming to reshape America according to its beliefs.
  • Key figures in the film, including deeply religious Christians, express concern over the movement’s distortion of religion and history.
  • The film traces the movement’s origins back to the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, not Roe v. Wade as commonly thought.
  • ‘God & Country’ offers no clear solution to counter the movement but presents voices of hope and inclusivity for the future.
