A Must See Documentary

Yesterday we watched a documentary called "America's Godly Heritage: Wallbuilders" (1995). I'd found this by searching for some of the highest rated documentaries on Netflix, figuring some of these would be good homeschooling tools. Homeschooling or not, this is a must-see. Mark and I were fascinated to learn things we'd never even heard of before. My mind went to how history has been 'edited' in other countries to cover things up... how sad to see that happening in America.

One of the most interesting parts of the documentary was learning the original intentions of the founding fathers regarding concepts such as separation of church and state. It was shocking to see how that concept has been totally re-defined, to the point where it is now counter to their intentions. The documentary did an excellent job revealing how this redefinition (re-defined primarily by new policies starting in the 1960's) has had grave consequences for America. A must see!
