“A strategic partnership of God” is how Yael Eckstein, leader of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, describes the curious alliance forged in 1983 between the American Jewish and evangelical Christian communities. Her organization has become Israel’s foremost philanthropic group by appealing to Christians through an emphasis on the critical role Jews will play in Jesus’s return, and Maya Zinshtein’s film focuses on the financial, political and messianic objectives of this partnership, as well the inherent clashes in ideology that threaten to undo it.

From evangelical constituents praying for the State of Israel in an impoverished coal mining town in Kentucky to the halls of power in Washington and Israel, the film reflects on the alarming moves the Trump and Netanyahu administrations have made in recent years, including the relocation the American Embassy to Jerusalem and continued annexation of the West Bank. What is revealed is an apocalyptic worldview reshaping American foreign policy toward Israel and the Middle East. -TA
