Lord Save Us From Your Followers - The Movie

Description:

A fast-paced, highly engaging documentary that explores the collision of faith and culture in America while opening up this important conversation to all of us.

As a church-attending Christian, Dan Merchant (read our exclusive interview with him) was an interested bystander in the Culture Wars. Try as he might, he was having trouble figuring out what made the rhetoric so divisive, hyper, and most often, angry.

In other words, he was wondering: Why is the Gospel of Love dividing America?

He put on a bumper-sticker-clad jumpsuit and traveled across America to find the answer. After talking with scores of men and women on streets all across the nation, and also interviewing many well-known activists in the Culture Wars, Dan realized that the public discussion of faith doesn't have to be contentious.

With humor more common in a comedy-sketch program than a documentary, Lord, Save Us provides a provocative, funny, and redemptive discussion that is sure to continue long after the credits run.

It's the movie that has everyone talking. No, really, everyone! Throughout the movie, Dan talks with countless people to hear their stories...and to share those tales with you. Everyday people like us, and well-known people like:

• Best-selling author William Paul Young (The Shack)
• Comedian/Senator Al Franken
• Former Senator Rick Santorum (champion of the Religious Right)
• Noted "liberal evangelical" Tony Campolo
• Conservative radio host Michael Reagan (son of former President Reagan)

Other people featured include: Bono, George Clooney, Jerry Falwell, Stephen Colbert and many more.

Yes, you have never heard faith talked about, or seen it lived out, as you will in Lord, Save Us.
