God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism
PG-13 | 90 min
Christian nationalism is the belief that America should be defined as a Christian nation, with government adherence to this ideology. GOD & COUNTRY 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.
GOD & COUNTRY speaks directly to the almost 200,000,000 Americans who identify as Christians. Christians who fear their faith is being hijacked by an extreme right-wing political movement known as Christian nationalism.
GOD & COUNTRY features many of the most prominent and well-respected voices of Christianity. Their presence in the film will be a powerful tool in persuading Christians to watch.

Auschwitz survivor and retired prostitute Madame Rosa (Simone Signoret) has become a caretaker for the children of other prostitutes. With her physical and mental health declining, Rosa begins returning her charges to their parents' care. However, she has grown attached to the only unclaimed child, Momo (Samy Ben Youb), a 14-year-old Arab boy whose parents disappeared years ago. Still tormented by memories of the Holocaust, Rosa becomes increasingly convinced the Gestapo is coming for her.
