NEWSMAX

The documentary’s underlying question deserves serious thought: How long can a nation survive when its younger generations hold its founding principles in contempt?

EPOCH TIMES

“Civilization in the Danger Zone” gathers many of the nation’s top academics and experts to examine the aftermath of the left’s attempts to destabilize and delegitimize three of America’s most essential building blocks . . . faith, family, and freedom.

WESTERN JOURNAL

An exceedingly honorable cast of cutting-edge thinkers . . . who have both gravitas and grace. They are, perhaps, Western civilization’s front-line defenders.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

During a conversation I had with the journalist Mark Tapson, an expert on popular culture, he remarked that the “fundamental transformation” former President Obama had called for no longer describes sufficiently the accelerating chaos in our country. What underlies the chaos is the culmination of a concerted war of attrition on the three foundational pillars that keep a society grounded and stable: family, faith, and nation. Tapson hit the nail on the head.

Under the escalating embrace of Marxist-Leninist ideology, the three foundational pillars are demonized. As Judeo-Christian values are scorned, woke ideology rises as a new godless religion. The nation-state is falsely characterized as an imperialist, colonialist construct, while globalist fantasies are popularized. And calls for the abolition of the family proliferate while birthrates drop drastically.

Civilization in the Danger Zone reminds us of the critical importance of these foundational pillars and their relationship to the sustainability of our freedoms and liberties. It exposes the ideologies and movements that are purposefully attacking them.

I made this documentary to remind us of our responsibility to protect these bedrocks of our civilization. We must do this for the sake of our children and grandchildren, and for all future generations.
