Explosive new Environmental Documentary to get Nationwide Screening through Freedom Film Distributors and National Movie Night project
Esmont, VA, 4/12/2011 — The powerful new documentary film Resisting the Green Dragon, produced by the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, will be premiered nationwide on Earth Day weekend, April 22-24, through National Movie Night, a project of Freedom Film Distributors. The Resisting the Green Dragon documentary is the introduction to a larger 12 part DVD series that provides a Biblical analysis and critique of the radical environmentalist movement. The series educates and warns Christians of the dangers of this movement that seeks to lure them into unwise actions and ways of thinking about the environment. National Movie Night is designed to harness the energy of fans of independently produced films by giving them a way to host movie nights in their communities. Freedom Film Distributors will also promote and distribute the film and its accompanying 12 part DVD series nationwide through its grassroots network of distributors.
At a critical moment in the global environmental debate, many of America’s top Christian leaders have joined with the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation to produce an explosive new 12-part DVD series and introductory documentary film called Resisting the Green Dragon. The series sounds the alarm about dangerous environmental extremism and brings a Biblical viewpoint on environmental issues and creation stewardship to evangelical churches, ministries, and schools. The new video series comes at a time when environmental advocacy groups are frustrated that their top priority for the past two decades—a global treaty to curtail fossil fuel use to fight alleged catastrophic global warming—is losing steam.
Resisting the Green Dragon is therefore particularly timely because it not only refutes the scientific case for dangerous manmade warming and other “crises,” but also exposes how environmental organizations use sophisticated media campaigns and even seek increased global governance to promote their agenda among policy makers, religious leaders, and youth. “One of the greatest threats to society and the church today is the multifaceted environmentalist movement,” says Cornwall Alliance founder and national spokesman Dr. E. Calvin Beisner. “There isn’t an aspect of life that it doesn’t seek to force into its own mold.”
Many well-known Christian leaders agree. Focus on the Family’s Tom Minnery joined Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins, the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission’s Richard Land, Concerned Women for America’s Wendy Wright, Home School Legal Defense Association’s Michael Farris, National Religious Broadcasters’ Frank Wright, WallBuilders’ David Barton, and radio talk-show host Janet Parshall in providing commentary for and recommendation of the 12-part DVD series.
The National Movie Night project is one component of the strategy of Freedom Film Distributors to build alternative and independent vehicles for the promotion of independent films that uphold the values of Faith, Family, and Freedom. National Movie Night establishes a schedule of nationally coordinated family movie nights that will focus promotion for a particular film in a defined date range. This will allow Freedom Film Distributors to leverage its national promotional campaigns through its Movie Night Hosts at the local level for the film screenings they are hosting. Movie Night Hosts are provided with planning guidance and promotional tools to set up and promote their movie night, and with DVD packs to distribute to event attendees. The goal is to provide a conduit for grassroots activism to promote independently produced family-friendly films to diverse audiences all around the country.

John Robert Moore – writer, director, and producer of the award-winning The Widow's Might – was on the WallBuilders Live radio show with Rick Green recently, and spent a good deal of time discussing National Movie Night and the unique opportunity it has to mobilize grassroots support for independently produced films that support our core values of Faith, Family, and Freedom. The show title was "Empowering Christian Film Makers to Influence Entertainment" and John discussed his experience as a filmmaker and culture changer, along with talking about how grassroots promotion of independent films, such as through the National Movie Night project, can be a powerful mode for changing culture.
John Moore's film The Widow's Might won the Best of Festival and Audience Choice awards at the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. His success with that film has built a stepping stone to his new project Ace Wonder, which will likely receive theatrical distribution when it debuts in early 2012.
John also described the National Movie Night project as an important avenue for many independent Christian filmmakers to not only promote their films through grassroots efforts of their fans, but also a way for them to support other filmmakers by promoting other films to their fan base. These family movie nights have the potential to spread the growing number of films that are purposely made with a Christian worldview to a much wider audience.
We are grateful to have a friend like John Moore who is not only a creative filmmaker seeking to honor God through his art, but also who actively uses his growing influence to help get the word out about supporting efforts such as Freedom Film Distributors and National Movie Night.
AGENDA: Grinding America Down is a new documentary film that exposes the long-advancing agenda of socialism in America, begun by Karl Marx and other revolutionary agents in the past all the way up to the present day. It demonstrates that the drastic changes in American society have been by design, and have successfully assaulted the Christian heritage and foundations of the nation.
Writer/Director/Producer Curtis Bowers, a former Idaho lawmaker and graduate of the Christian Filmmakers Academy at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, was inspired to produce Agenda after a “Letter to the Editor” he penned about the immense changes in America’s culture became the feature story on the evening news and prompted protests at the Idaho State Capitol.
Dr. Ted Baehr of MovieGuide.org proclaimed "AGENDA: Grinding America Down is the most powerful exposé of the communist, socialist, progressive attempt to take over America produced so far. AGENDA is absolutely brilliant for its clarity and well-researched understanding of the issues. It is must viewing."
Speaking of his partnership with Freedom Film Distributors, Bowers said, "The National Movie Night Project is making it very simple for families all over America to accomplish the goal of educating those around them by using the powerful tool of visual media to communicate truth. My hope and prayer is that thousands of families across America will get involved with this project, so it will have a huge impact in turning America's culture back."
AGENDA: Grinding America Down will premiere nationwide this weekend through the National Movie Night project. Please sign up to be a movie night host and spread the word asking others to do so as well. Today is the last day to sign up and be able to order and receive the DVD in time, as well as have time to invite others to your movie night. Sign up to host a movie night today!
Please watch and enjoy this moving speech by Curtis Bowers, writer, director, and producer of AGENDA. Doug Phillips, President of Vision Forum and Founder of the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, exclaimed "Never in my life have I witnessed such a humble, powerful beautiful testimony of gratitude which demonstrated the kind hand of God answering the prayers of children."
New Divided documentary is being premiered nationwide this weekend through Freedom Film Distributors and its National Movie Night project
Esmont, VA, 12/2/2010 — The new documentary film DIVIDED is being premiered nationwide this weekend through National Movie Night, a project of Freedom Film Distributors. Over 65 hosts have volunteered to show the film in their homes, churches, and private facilities during the weekend of December 3-5. This is the first of several nationwide screenings of this new documentary on the American church and youth ministry.
The producer, Peter Bradrick of the National Council of Family Integrated Churches, chose to partner with Freedom Film Distributors to promote and distribute the film nationwide through its grassroots network of independent distributors and through screenings of the film as part of the National Movie Night project. National Movie Night is designed to harness the energy of fans of family-oriented films by giving them a way to host movie nights for independently produced films in their communities.
DIVIDED follows young Christian filmmaker Philip LeClerc on a revealing journey as he seeks answers to what has led his generation away from the church. Traveling across the country conducting research and interviewing church kids, youth ministry experts, evangelists, statisticians, social commentators, and pastors, Philip discovers the shockingly sinister roots of modern, age-segregated church programs, and equally shocking evidence that the pattern in the Bible for training future generations is at odds with modern church practices.
