Postcards from Babylon - Evangelicals in the Shadow of Christian Nationalism

About This Movie

Postcards from Babylon offers a contemplative look into the intersection of faith and politics, focusing on Brian Zahnd's pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. The film's tone is reflective and often somber, capturing the quiet struggle of reconciling personal beliefs with the chaotic landscape of American evangelicalism. It moves at a thoughtful pace, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of its themes—identity, nationalism, and the search for truth. The cinematography beautifully contrasts the serene Spanish landscape with the tumultuous nature of contemporary discourse. While the director remains unknown, Zahnd's performance is introspective, guiding us through a journey that’s as much about internal battles as it is about the external ones. It's this layering of personal and political that makes it stand out in the documentary realm.
