SPECIAL DOCUMENTARY SCREENING FUNDRAISER for TRUE BELIEVER 🎬

TRUE BELIEVER deconstructs the history of a strategic political strategy that has been hiding in plain sight for fifty years! From the pulpit to the pews to the polls, the fifty-year arc of the Religious Right’s Agenda is playing out before our eyes right NOW. As Roe is overturned and abortion bans become routine, TRUE BELIEVER calls for a close examination of the religious right and compels Americans to become aware and wake up because what they’re doing threatens our very Democracy.
