How to Watch the "God & Country" Documentary
It's only available in select theaters, but you may be able to do something about that.
The upcoming documentary “God & Country” is slated for a limited theatrical release on February 16, 2024.
This film, in which I am one of the people interviewed, “takes a closer look at the dangerous implications [of white Christian nationalism] and explores how a base of Christians has radically stoked a movement erasing the line between Church and State.”
The audience for the film is, “the almost 200,000,000 Americans who identify as Christians. Christians who fear their faith is being hijacked by an extreme right wing political movement known as Christian nationalism.”
Unfortunately, if you look for “God & Country” in a theater near you, you’ll probably disappointed.
Theaters don’t typically host documentaries, and when they do it’s a very limited release and for a very short time.
BUT…you can do something about that.
If you would like to see if the film can be shown in your area, the folks who worked on it shared this link: Group Sales.
So get a group together—this is ideal for a collection of congregations in a community—and see if you can get a special showing of the documentary, “God & Country” in your area.
At some point the film should also hit streaming services, but this could be months down the line and the better a film does in theaters, the better the chances it goes to the streamers.
As one of the organizers said, “sending even small numbers of folks to theaters will have a profoundly outsized impact on overall viewership and availability for the film.”
So go see the film in theaters!
And go see it fast because it might only be in theaters for as little as a week.
If you’d like to hear from some of the people interviewed in the film and learn more about what we can do about addressing white Christian nationalism, you’ll want to join us for this free online event TONIGHT (2/13).

Thank you for alerting us to the webinar. I appreciated the conversation about White Christian Nationalism which I've been talking about and witnessing for some time. The discussion of hope was very helpful. Many thanks!
My husband and I went to see God and Country in Minneapolis last night. There was a great turnout. Thank you for participating in the making of the movie Dr Tisby. You were eloquent as always, even without your glasses!
