For those who missed it the first time, Dug did much of the location sound on this excellent documentary over a span of several years. I caught an early preview last year and it's well worth checking out.

RAVES:
“*** ½ -- I’ve never seen a documentary quite like it. It has a point to make, but no axe to grind.” – Roger Ebert
**** - Time Out Chicago
“A fascinating and, really, heartbreaking doc… What’s beautiful about the movie is its lack of judgment by the filmmakers. They just let their subjects – good people whom you like – talk. Draw your own conclusions.” – San Francisco Chronicle“A funny, smart and important look at the intersection of religion and politics in America today. It’s a movie that needs to be seen in both red and blue states, by liberals and conservatives alike.” – In These Times
