Transcript for Seeing Red (Trailer)

We cannot lead the world as a red and blue nation - Senator Joseph Biden Jr.

We literally cannot, that is not hyperbole.

We can not lead the world as a divided nation.

And whomever is the next President of the United States has to unite this country.

After the 2004 election, we were told that the US was morally divided like never before.

Four filmmakers were skeptical ... and set off on a journey to explore the place of Evangelicals in American politics.

This is what they found

Seeing Red, A Journey Through The Moral Divide

We don't tell any .. as our pastor says, we don't tell anybody

who to vote for

But what he does, is he preaches the Gospel.

And just through the Holy Spirit, we automatically know the right way to vote.

The 2nd Baptist Church of Houston Texas has 42,000 members, the largest adult ministry in the US.

We can encourage our people first of all to pray.

The second thing we can do is, and we will do this after this service

at all three campuses all weekend, we will register people to vote.

We don't tell anyone how to vote,

but we encourage them to vote.

And so just by sheer mass, we have the opportunity of using our voice

to influence others to be a part of the system.

Christian music generates $4 billion in annual sales.

I think that right now music is the language of our generation.

People listen, you can say things in a song that you'd never get away with

if you're trying to preach or, you know, just speak ... it's our heart's desire

to see as many people swept into Kingdom as humanly possible.

The worse misconception about Christians, like when I tell people I'll be like

in school, I'll be like,

ah soulfest, can't wait. And they'll be like, what's that?

I'm like, it's this big, huge five day Christian music festival.

They'll be like, oh Christian music, is that like, "I love God."

And I'm like, no, Christian music is so cool.

If you like any secular band that's like wicked bad, and swears, and talks about, like, beating people up,

you can find the exact same thing in a Christian band

that's like 5 times better, just because it's -

Except with no beating up. More like the, ah, talking about love.

Even though they're very conservative and they tend to vote Republican,

they're actually rebels at heart. They've rebelled against, you know, what they've grown up with.

Now that raises an absolutely fascinating issue.

Suppose you're a politically conservative, Born Again Christian,

whose had this transformative experience.

And then you have children.

You know, what do you think? Are your children just going to obey their parents?

You know, if the children just go along and say they do whatever the parents want,

they're not having that same kind of transformative experience.

A film by Gerry Corneau and Leah Belsky

I am a Christian superhero for today's children.

I teach kids how ... about Jesus and how each of them have a spirit man inside them.

And only by reading the Bible, praying, and going to Church,

can they make their spirit man grow nice and strong.

You've got a country right here, that is waiting for someone to unite them.

Well, let's see what happens.
