Article Summary and/or Excerpt:
Mix religion up with a macho, messianic form of white nationalism, and you get a toxic brew—one that’s dangerous not only to the very idea of secular democracy but also to Christianity itself. History has seen crusades before, but today’s Christian nationalism is posing a real and immediate threat. In God & Country, a new documentary based on the book The Power Worshipers by Katherine Stewart, director Dan Partland and producer Rob Reiner look at the phenomenon of Christian nationalism, with insights from scholars and activists as well as Christian leaders like the Rev. William Barber of the Poor People’s Campaign. Reiner came to fame as an Emmy Award–winning actor in the TV series All in the Family. He went on to become an acclaimed director of some of the most popular motion pictures in American history, including When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. He’s also a dedicated political activist. Dan Partland is a longtime documentary producer and director for film and television. He is a five-time Emmy nominee with two Emmys for best nonfiction series, including one for American High on Fox.
