Emmy-winning Israeli filmmaker Maya Zinshtein examines the dubious alliance between Trump-supporting evangelicals and Israel’s right-wing factions. Fervent in their messianic beliefs, American evangelicals give huge sums to the Holy Land while exerting outsized influence on Mideast policy. Faith, money and power prove a toxic brew that flows from an impoverished Kentucky church’s pulpit, through the halls of Washington, to outcomes in Israel. The focal point is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a charitable group seeking to actualize apocalyptic prophecy. With unfettered access to those pursuing opportunistic agendas, this sharply organized exposé raises troubling questions about the linkage of ideological quests and political power.
