  • Chancellor had a this wonderful statement that i think
  • 00:20:39.722 --> 00:20:40.189
  • Statement that i think summarizes he says god has
  • 00:20:40.322 --> 00:20:43.325

  • And if i if i may coming away from the film it seems like
  • 00:20:54.837 --> 00:20:55.404
  • From the film it seems like one of the messages is the
  • 00:20:55.538 --> 00:20:58.307
  • One of the messages is the government doesn't grant
  • 00:20:58.441 --> 00:20:58.908
  • Government doesn't grant rights.
  • 00:20:59.041 --> 00:20:59.241
  • Rights. god grants us rights of the
  • 00:20:59.375 --> 00:21:01.310

  • Government should be protecting rights in my entourage.
  • 00:21:02.211 --> 00:21:02.711
  • Rights in my entourage. absolutely because that that
  • 00:21:02.845 --> 00:21:05.448
  • Absolutely because that that was the basis for the entire
  • 00:21:05.581 --> 00:21:06.315
  • Was the basis for the entire revolut nation and the point is
  • 00:21:06.449 --> 00:21:10.085
  • Revolut nation and the point is and we make it in the film.
  • 00:21:10.219 --> 00:21:10.853

  • 00:21:10.986 --> 00:21:13.522
  • Many of the fathers were not conventionally religious but
  • 00:21:13.656 --> 00:21:17.193

  • It and support it because the message again is so much needed
  • 00:21:45.321 --> 00:21:46.055
  • Message again is so much needed at a time of division and
  • 00:21:46.188 --> 00:21:49.725
  • At a time of division and disillusionment for many in
  • 00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:53.596
  • Disillusionment for many in this country and i think the
  • 00:21:53.729 --> 00:21:54.330
  • This country and i think the audiences that seen it so far
  • 00:21:54.463 --> 00:21:56.899
  • Audiences that seen it so far we had a showing here last
  • 00:21:57.032 --> 00:21:57.733
