“Faith” traces the disturbing, under-the radar evolution of Christian Nationalism in our country. Once on the fringes, this group systematically worked to infiltrate their pro-life, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ platform across all levers of power, including the media (Fox News), the Supreme Court, and one of our two major political parties. Are they now, in effect, too big to stop?

Director Ujilaki’s smart, clear-eyed examination of Christian nationalism connects all the dots, explaining how a coalition of white, xenophobic citizens resolved to use their Christian faith to justify their restrictive, far-right agenda, and then over time, penetrate their ideology into our political and legislative power structure. Beyond their success, the scariest part is that their values are antithetical to what our founding fathers actually intended, and could threaten our fragile democracy. “Bad Faith” is a sobering film we dismiss at our peril.
