| t’s been one of the fundamental quandries of the presidency of Donald J. Trump: How can a man so overtly dedicated to the banality of evil still retain widespread support among Christians?This is the question that Netflix’s newest harrowing documentary, “The Family,†attempts to answer over five episodes. Directed by Jesse Moss (“The Overnightersâ€) and produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Films, the limited series is based on the non-fiction investigations “The Family†and “C Street†written by Dartmouth College journalism professor and religious scholar Jeff Sharlet. And while the answer isn’t presented as cut-and-dry as it could be, “The Family†is a profoundly troubling examination of the theocracy that wields power behind-the-scenes in Washington D.C.The Family, officially The Fellowship Foundation, is an aggregation of non-profit organizations that ostensibly work to spread the word and adhere to the teachings of Jesus. As Sharlet revealed in his books and as Moss expands on in “The Family,†however, there is a very thin line between evangelizing the work of Jesus and seeking access to those in power through spiritual obligation. |

| I have researched every story - they all check out.Sure- there is some anti-Christian comments and sarcasm ... but this story is real.Do not get caught up in the Guilt by Association stream of the story - just look at the facts that are presented. |

| Netflix? That is where Christians are supposed to go to get the truth, eh? |

| I saw the trailer only. Just based on that, it did not seem to be a particularly bad organization....maybe some Christians trying to influence government officials toward godliness and reasonable ethical political stances. Just guessing here, though. I could see why left-wing atheists would find this alarming, though. Did the documentary show anything bad about this group |

| A for-profit, left-leaning company makes a documentary with some real names that can be verified and then uses that straw-man to tell the world about their Clintonian Vast RightWing Conspiracy. There's nothing to see here, but if you believe in it, then tell me why this is the absolute WORST and most failed conspiracy of all time! What conservative Christian successes have there been to point to? Abolition of abortion? Gay marriage? Gay everything? Trans bathrooms? Repression of Christian speech and rights? Its literally the WORST conspiracy of all time. |
