God on My Side - Andrew Denton

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s1926667.htm

It's the end of the world as they know it.

God on my side is a film about faith and the places it can take people. Where it took Andrew Denton was to the 63rd National Religious Broadcaster's Convention in Gaylord, Texas USA, in February 2006, where more than 6000 Christian communicators gathered. The film records what Andrew found. By turns serious and comic and sometimes a little disturbing, it examines the cutting edge of evangelical technology, the business of God, the America of the religious right, and what the inescapable truths of the Bible mean for US foreign policy and the Middle East. Avoiding cheap pot-shots by asking a range of Christians about their beliefs and experiences, the film is complex, layered and surprising.

Why the NRB convention? Why now? Seventy million Americans are born-again Christians. A highly organised, politicised and motivated bloc, they provide more than 40% of President Bush's vote. With an estimated audience of 141 million Americans, the NRB provides key access to this constituency and knows it has a powerful voice.

With his trademark wit and empathy, Andrew Denton's first feature-length documentary is a subtle but powerful piece of filmmaking that will resonate in these increasingly religious times. If the world really is dividing into a Clash of Civilisations, then God on my side raises questions about absolutism in any guise, about the danger in man's ability to put his hand on a book, any book, and say, "This is the truth, the only truth."
