"Praying for Armageddon is a political thriller that investigates the dangerous consequences of the fusion between Evangelical Christianity and American politics. Through years of reporting, this film not only reveals how structures of fundamentalism weaken the very fabric of American democracy, but also highlights the devastating impact religion wields on U.S. foreign policy."

— UpNorth Film

"Praying for Armageddon ... reveals the power and influence of U.S. fundamentalist Evangelicals as they aim to fulfill the prophecy of a Holy War that will trigger the Second Coming of Christ."

— Variety, 9/14/23

MRFF'S MIKEY WEINSTEIN FEATURED IN DOCUMENTARY PROMO EXCERPT

"Reporter Lee Fang talks to Mikey Weinstein, MRFF about the significance of the 7 Mountains Mandate and the New Apostolic Reformation, 'Their job is to transform the military, and the militaries of the world, into this version of weaponized Christianity. Jerry Boykin, a former 3-star general, made it clear that when Jesus comes back, he'll be carrying an AR-15.'" — UpNorth Film

(MRFF summary of review)



Variety’s review of ‘Praying For Armageddon’ describes the documentary, which features Mikey Weinstein and MRFF Advisory Board Member Larry Wilkerson, as “unnerving,” “persuasive and increasingly alarming,”

calling the film’s “core thesis” that American Christian fundamentalists are “actively working to bring about the end of the world as we know it” “abundantly, horribly clear.” The review ends by calling the film a “compelling, sobering” revelation that “the hitherto unimagined scale of a type of political insanity that would entrust the future to people who don’t want there to be a future at all.”
