Praying for Armageddon is a political thriller that reveals the power and influence of US fundamentalist Evangelicals, as they aim to fulfill the Armageddon prophecy. With close quarters journalism, this film embeds with American believers who prepare for The Holy War and exposes how powerful megachurch pastors call for the ‘final battle’ that they believe will trigger the Second Coming of Christ. A deep dive into power and policy, this film unveils how politicians driven by faith embrace Israel as the key to their prophetic vision for the end of days. At any cost.
From the grassroots to megachurch empires and the dark backrooms in Washington D.C., this film goes inside a movement that ultimately aims to destroy our civilization.
