Description
Series Description
"'You cannot understand American politics without considering American religion.' - Calvin Skaggs, Executive Producer "Three years in the making and featuring more than a hundred interviews with leaders and grassroots activists, WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE captures the spirit of the Religious Right and addresses the persistent questions the movement raises: How does a free society draw the line between church and state while preserving a place for religious conviction in public life? How do media images of the Religious Right differ from the reality? And when politicians and religious activists join forces, who holds the reins' "This in-depth and non-ideological look at the Religious Right movement traces its roots from the 'Christian anti-Communism' of the 1950's to the sophisticated politics of the Christian Coalition today. Through rare archival footage and surprisingly candid interviews, it shows how evangelical Christians have slowly but steadily re-entered and re-shaped mainstream politics and culture. "''a highly reverent but highly worthy documentary series tracing the rise of conservative, Scripture-driven Christians'There's something to be said for showing history through the prism of its subjects.' - L.A. Times"--1996 Peabody Awards entry form.
