"God & Country": An Interview with Director Dan Partland
I have often said, "White Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to democracy and the witness of the church in the United States today."
Now there's a documentary showing and telling why this is true.
I talk to Dan Partland, the director of "God & Country" a feature-length documentary film that "takes a closer look at the dangerous implications and explores how a base of Christians has radically stoked a movement erasing the line between Church and State."
Partland explains how he approached the delicate tension of truth-telling while still engaging a potentially skeptical audience. He describes how film can be a uniquely effective medium for opening people to dialogue. And we explore the controversy that has already surrounded the film.
See the "God & Country" trailer here.
