Activists across the LGBTQ+ spectrum confront police and government officials, join forces with labor and civil rights struggles, and help reshape the modern world. --1210L

American heretics : a documentary [videorecording] / by Butler, Catherine Lynn,film producer,film director.; Butler, Jeanine Isabel,film producer,film director.; Pearson, Carlton,interviewee.(CARDINAL)361976; Butlerfilms (Firm),production company,publisher.; Contemporary Dialogues,production company.;
Edited by Jamie Lee Godfrey; cinematography by Peter Hotchens.Bishop Carlton Pearson.At what other point in our history has the line between church and state become so tangled and polarizing? This film takes audiences into the buckle of the Bible belt, where a group of defiant ministers, congregations, and community leaders are challenging deeply rooted fundamentalist Christian doctrine in favor of a gospel of inclusion. Labeled as 'heretics' for their beliefs and actions, they refuse to wield their faith as a sword sharpened by literal interpretations of the Bible. Especially those fundamentalist Christian interpretations that continue to justify nationalism and hack away at landmark civil rights protections for women, minorities, immigrants, and LGBTQ communities. This poignant story challenges what people think they know about the Christian heartland by offering a rare personal glimpse into the contentious and often misunderstood history of religion, race, and politics in America.DVD, NTSC, all regions; widescreen (16:9).
