A political docu-thriller with chilling ramifications, Praying for Armageddon reveals the power and influence of American Evangelical Christians aiming to fulfil the Armageddon prophecy.
With the expectation that Judgement Day is just around the corner, the believers – from crusading bikers to elected congressmen – prepare for the Holy War that they believe will trigger the Second Coming of Christ. Well-funded and well-organised, this is far from a fringe group – harnessing the Evangelical vote and a billion-dollar lobby has a very real impact on law-making, from abortion rights to gun ownership, and beyond.
From the grassroots to megachurch empires and the dark backrooms of Washington D.C., director Tonje Hessen Schei reports from inside a closed world, investigating the fusion between Evangelical Christianity and politics, and the fight for the end of the world.
