Battle for the Minds

by Steve Lipscomb

"An important film, capable of shifting the public consciousness."
Bill Moyers

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

 

RELATED FILMS
The Tailenders
Everyday Heroes


Religion, politics and sociology collide in this award winning, critically acclaimed film. With shocking honesty, Battle for the Minds documents the rise of fundamentalism in America's largest Protestant denomination and the subsequent impact of that rise on women. Fundamentalist assaults on women in leadership roles serve as a microcosm for the alarming outbreak of the intolerant religious right in America today.
