Several have dedicated their lives to challenging Christian Nationalism’s theocratic vision for America and the film chronicles their actions. By shedding light on the shadowy underworld of politIcal extremism, BAD FAITH seeks to awaken citizens to its dangers and inspire them to stand up and show up at the polls.
