    Gag. Here comes an onslaught of whitewashed hagiographies about the Founders...eg, a trailer for a movie called "A Great Awakening", babbling on about "freedom" and "liberty" and "God-given rights" etc., about an era when people were legally enslaved, bought, bred, sold, and abused. 1/

    So disappointed w/ the #film "A Great Awakening." It's misleadingly billed as a #historical tale of Ben Franklin's debate/friendship w/ preacher George Whitefield. In fact, it's an evangelical PR job that inaccurately implies Franklin suddenly found God, thus saving the fledgling US Constitution

    This is because these dudes actually believe the movie A Great Awakening was real, and not Christian Nationalist propaganda. They believe what they want, irregardless of facts. Inconvenient facts are communist, marxist, or woke to them.

    I greatly appreciate what Benjamin Franklin did for our country. I am also impressed by the number of people turning to Jesus. If you feel the same way, you should see the movie 'A Great Awakening.'

    A Great Awakening, a movie about how actually Benjamin Franklin was friends with George Whitefield that whitewashes the latter’s staunch slavery.

    I saw 3 excellent movies this week! Normal, this was a seen unseen movie, and we loved it! A Great Awakening, we didn't know anyone in the cast BUT thought the movie was fantastic! Michael, the nephew playing him, deserves an Oscar IMHO!

    "A Great Awakening" is a bad faith film, a Trojan horse of Christian nationalist propaganda packed inside as a supposedly poignant tribute to two 18th century luminaries. @alternet.org www.alternet.org/great-awaken...
