Impoverished evangelicals in Kentucky hang the Star of David over the cross in their church and donate their last pennies to an organisation in Israel. They believe this brings Armageddon closer – the final battle of Jerusalem, after which, devout Christians will enter the kingdom of Jesus. In turn, the millions of dollars donated enable the Jewish organisation to build more settlements on Old Testament soil. Director Zinshtein succeeds in creating deeply disturbing testimony to spiritual delusion, to end-time ideologies and to an unholy alliance that extends into the highest US government circles.
