A One-Night Streaming Event: Help Us Make True Believer Available to ALL Before the Election!

 a new feature documentary touring the US

As her faith community betrays the Jesus they taught her to love, an evangelical filmmaker reckons with the ‘pro-life’ political identity she built her life on, and that threatens our very Democracy. 

A Virtual Screening & Reproductive Justice Town Hall on October 29th, Exactly One Week Before Election Day!

In 2016, 81% of white evangelical voters voted for Donald Trump. 

 amongst white evangelical, church-going voters in 2020. Thanks to Trump and his runningmate’s hateful, unhinged rhetoric, a lot of people are undecided about how they will vote. We know that this election will come down to a few thousand votes in less than a handful of states—our goal is to reach the critical voters who are undecided as they go to the polls, particularly those who have historically been single-issue (abortion) voters based on their religious beliefs, but who are now questioning how they want to vote moving forward.

“TRUE BELIEVER is one of the most important films of our time. It is not only a tool for healing and reckoning within the white evangelical community, but it is also the answer to, 'How we got here, and what's at stake,' for those outside of it. As a former church girl and lifelong political activist, I know that this film will be a catalyst to change and restoration.”

is the film and guide I wish I had had ten years ago when I first questioned my inherited faith and politics. When I set out to make True Believer, I had stopped recognizing Jesus in the faith community that taught me who he was: a brown, colonized, indigenous man who embodied love and came to ease the suffering of the most vulnerable. Today, the movement that raised me is an overt white supremacist, nationalist cult, hellbent on inflicting pain by abducting and deporting brown and black bodies, refusing life-saving healthcare to pregnant people, and tormenting queer children and their families. 

What once appeared as a southern fringe group--from the federal government to the Supreme Court--now holds each of our rights, freedoms, and our Democracy in their clutches. 

Their long-game has been successful, but how did we get here, and do we dare have hope for the future of the United States?
