God’s Next Army
Patrick Henry College sits in rural Virginia, minutes from Washington DC, and exists to turn homeschooled evangelical teenagers into the staff of a future Christian government. The film follows students through debate practice, prayer sessions, and campaign work, including canvassing for a Republican candidate and a visit to a lobbying firm fighting compensation claims for asbestos victims. Founded five years before filming, the college has already placed a striking number of graduates as interns inside the White House, and faculty and alumni speak on camera about wanting to "rechristianise" America and reverse what they see as the country's moral decline. Students talk openly about the separation of church and state as an obstacle rather than a principle worth keeping. The camera stays close to campus life, classrooms, dorm rooms, political training sessions, letting students and administrators make their own case in their own words. What emerges is a pipeline: a small Christian college producing the operatives of a movement aimed at reshaping the country's laws to match its faith.
