True Believer
As her faith community betrays the Jesus they taught her to love, an evangelical filmmaker reckons with the political identity she built her life on.
Born in 1981 just as the Religious Right’s culture war crashed into visibility, a then evangelical filmmaker discovers the true origins of the pro-life movement. While disbelief initiates her investigation into a veiled history of white supremacy, betrayal forces a deeply personal examination of her own family and identity, neither of which can be disentangled from the other. As Roe is overturned and abortion bans become routine, TRUE BELIEVER is a call for reckoning for every American, but especially those within the religious subculture that threatens our very Democracy.
