"The Family" - National Prayer Breakfast [View all]

Last edited Wed Sep 4, 2019, 02:07 AM - Edit history (2)

If I'm late to the party on this documentary... Well, sorry.

I ran into this documentary on Netflix called "The Family." It is as eye opening as it is scary. It finally answered a few important questions I had concerning the rise of the Right and the evangelical "offensive" front.

It is quite long and very comprehensive.

"Where does politics end and religion begin?"

I strongly recommend this documentary to the knowledgeable as well as those who are still learning.

ON EDIT: lunateca has a great synopsis of the documentary at the link below. Well written on the subject prior to my post. A good read.
