If you have Sundance Channel, please watch “With God on Our Side: George W. Bush and the Rise of the Religious Right in America” for me. It’s about:
Since the 1950s, politicians who ignored the growing power of evangelical voters did so at their own peril. In this two-part documentary, director David Van Taylor and producers Calvin Skaggs, Charles Schuerhoff and Ali Pomeroy place the character and presidency of George W. Bush in context with a brief history of the religious right’s journey from isolation to influence. Interviews with leading evangelists and rare film clips provide a revealing glimpse into recent American history and the personal story of the 43rd President of the US.
And next week watch, “The Origins of AIDS“. This doc puts forth the theory that AIDS sprang forth from the oral polio vaccine”. A theory that I’ve never heard of until now. Apparently, it’s a controversial theory.
I don’t have Sundance. Not in the budget. But you can watch and learn for me.
