We went to a pre-release screening of A Great Awakening last Wednesday and were thrilled that Joshua Enck (writer/producer/director), Jonathan Blair (writer/George Whitefield), Josh Bates (Alexander Hamilton), and Katie Miller (head of Sight & Sound’s film division) were all in attendance and willing to do interviews with me after the screening. 

Here's my article about the film:

"What Will SAVE America? An Awakening!"

Lord, our government leaders fight like cats and dogs. Please bring another great awakening! We need You like never before!

Leaders from every state are at each other’s throats! Are they arguing over the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act or funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)?

Nope. Those tensions won’t rise for 239 years. The heated debates comprise the first scene of A Great Awakening, opening nationwide on April 3. At issue in the Constitutional Congress of 1787 is the power dynamic between large and small states. That will soon be solved by creating the House of Representatives (with the number of representatives based on population) and the Senate (with two senators for every state, regardless of size). Though it isn’t featured in this film, we know from The American Miracle Expanded that eight of the 13 states wanted to abolish slavery, which also caused much contentious chatter.
