Member Rating:  
Filmmakers Kate Davis, David Heilbroner, and Franco Sacchi aim to clarify the abstruse relationship between Christian Zionists and Jews while encouraging dialogue between dissenting groups with this documentary examining the possibility that a substantial American voting block is attempting to create a self-fulfilling prophecy of international holy war. By speaking with Evangelicals in their homes, at conferences, and even during a tour of the site in Israel where they believe Jesus Christ will return to Earth, the filmmakers intertwine Jewish and Christian Zionist perspectives to explore the unique alliance between Evangelical Christians and Israel that could lay the groundwork for the battle of Armageddon. Interviewees include Connecticut evangelicals James and Laura Bagg, McAlester, OK-based Evangelicals Tony and Devonna Edwards, and Salem, OR-based doctor H. Wayne House, each of whom believe we are living in the end times, and that they will all be raptured into the heavens when Christ returns and humanity enters into a violent seven-year period known as "The Tribulation." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Carol C. Strongsville, OH. The people who made this film bent over backwards I thought to avoid giving a prejudiced viewpoint about these people who believe in the end times and the rapture. It's like trying to give Hitler an unbiased treatment. These people are nuts. Not in the sense of being committable. In fact they seem pretty ordinary and intelligent. They have families. They have friends. They go on vacations. But if you listen to them for a while you see what a cult is like. They are terribly brainwashed and are of course brainwashing their poor kids who spoke of feeling kind of bad about the fact that their parents keep telling them that the end is nigh. They'd like to get married and have kids and a life naturally. It's a kind of child abuse in my book. The filmmakers need to illuminate this scene instead of just showing it. .

    A documentary that unintentionally shows what's wrong with religion. Chock full of religious blowhards. Scary stuff indeed.
