With God on Our Side: George W Bush and the Rise of the Religious Right in America

This dispassionate, useful documentary contemplates the changing political climate over the last 45 years during which evangelical Christianity has moved steadily from the margins of politics into Congress and the White House. An updated, narration-free distillation of a 1996 PBS series, it lets leading voices of the religious right like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Ralph Reed describe their progress (and setbacks) in helping land George W. Bush in the White House. Aggressive grass-roots organizing, it concludes, has been the crucial factor. Stephen Holden, The New York Times
