Choosing ten films that were considered suspicious, un-American, or even dangerous by the conservative media, and especially the infamous House Un-American Affairs Committee (HUAC) between 1947-1953, each chapter briefly outlines how progressive Christians should have supported the message of the film rather than condemned it. Each chapter explains why the film was considered controversial, and then proposes a number of arguments drawing heavily on Scripture, arguing that Christians should have, and still should, consider these films about social justice issues to be deeply biblical, and not un-American. Intended for an adult education series, this book can serve as a kind of handbook for a church or parish Film Series that raises serious questions of social justice and Christian response.
