The first and only comprehensive history of a movement that has re-shaped America, this series explores the always-tricky intersection of religion and politics. Aired nationwide in the weeks before the '96 election, the series garnered remarkable acclaim from both liberals and religious conservatives, as well as the press. Variety called it "Inspired ... so seamlessly edited and compiled that narration is superfluous," and The Houston Chronicle deemed it "A landmark PBS series ... if you care about what's going on in this country, do not let it slip by." Nominated as Best Limited Series of 1996 by the International Documentary Association.
