 A formidable force in American culture and politics, the evangelical movement is an extremely diverse group. In this program, filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi embarks on a fast-paced cross-country journey to gain a better understanding of this increasingly influential community. Visiting with a broad cross-section of evangelical Christians—from icons of the movement to congregation members, creationist educators, religious activists, Liberty University students, a Christian comic, Bible theme park-goers, and professional wrestlers with a powerful gospel message—Pelosi respectfully assembles an objective composite portrait. Interviews with the Reverend Jerry Falwell, leader of The Moral Majority Coalition; Pastor Joel Osteen, the most-watched TV minister in America; Pastor Ron Luce, founder of the immensely popular Battle Cry concert ministry; and Pastor Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals who subsequently resigned under a cloud of scandal, are featured. An HBO Production. (58 minutes)
