Is anyone going to see this? If you don't know what it is, it's a documentary by Kirk Cameron about where our country's going and what we can do about it. Here's the website for more information.
We're going to the live event on the 27th, I'll be back to post my thoughts on it and the film!
Also, here's a trailer that give you the jist of the film's purpose (but you should also watch the one at the website): Quick Trailer

I look forward to reading your thoughts.

I heard him talk about this at the Film Academy, and wondered when it would be out. I'll look forward to hearing more!

I'm going to be seeing this tomorrow!! I'm so excited, it looks so good.

Thanks guys!



Yeah, me too! Can't wait! I really love our history anyway, but much more so when it's a Christian perspective of it! You should come post your thoughts on it here after you see it too!

This sounds interesting.

I haven't seen this. I'm not sure I will watch it, but will be glad to hear your thoughts.

Ok, here's my attempt at posting my thoughts of it:

As you probably know, it's a documentary, but it's modern one, so they made it pretty dramatic...with echoey voices and stuff it=epicness!

Okay, so the point of the film was to show people in general that our country has been going the wrong direction, and if it continues to do so, it will end up like ancient and historical superpowers did-taken over by a tyrant and destroyed as a nation. At the same time, it's message to Christians was to not just let the world go because you read in Revalation that things end badly...we don't know when that prophecy is coming true, and until it does, we are to fight for the Truth, to fight for a better life in America for our children and those in the next generation.

Then this point is driven home as you follow Kirk's journey through England, Holland, and Massachusetts, talking with historians (that are Christians!), David Barton among them.
You see what actually happened with the puritans that came across the ocean-not the secularized classroom version (you get a lot of "minor details" that are shockingly edited out of our school history books), and you explore a monument near Plymouth that hardly anyone knows about anymore...for obvious reasons after you see it.

Personally, I was inspired by it (as I always am when I learn more about the men that started this country and hear more about how our amazing God provided for them) to not give up on the world or America (not that I was planning on it exactly, but still), and to hope and pray for a reformation of our Church and Country. I hope you are too if you ever see it.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. If anyone else has seen it, please share your thoughts as well!

Thanks for sharing them.

I ended up going to see this, my parents got me tickets for my birthday.

I agree with RunningWolf that it was very well done. I especially liked how it was laid out, and the monument itself was amazing! Really encouraging stuff. I had a few little filmmakery quibbles with it, but nothing major. Kirk Cameron did a great job.

You're welcome!



Glad you liked it too! Yeah, the monument was the best part I think.

Come to think of it, another thing I liked was the pacing...I had watched the Drive Through History episodes on this, and they were very good, and I learned a lot from them. But in monumental everything was summarized (though not in a bad way) and strung together cohesively, helping me make more connections than when watching separate episodes about each thing.

Thanks for sharing that with us, Wolf.

You're welcome.

Yes, I thought the pacing/arrangement was probably its strongest point.
