This has to be the most definitive document about CIA. Instead of following the route of endless criticism (and there is a lot available), the filmmakers let the CIA directors speak. And they do it with with candidness. Only very experienced interwievers can do this. We can probably never get any nearer to the most secretive organisation in the world. It shows CIAs job and position being very difficult. And it surely is. How can you stop violence and threat of violence in the world? With compassion? No. With violence? It only begets more violence. It would be very good If Americans and other nations finally realised that you can't win an ideologue or religion by destroying it's supporters. It only feeds more extremists. After AL gaida came Isis. And what is next? Highly recommended.

This movie is very important to many. It tells the story of one Pentecostal priest, who starts to doubt the doctrine of Hell. But his real problem is something else. It is the idiotic doctrine of fundamentalism. It was introduced at the end of The 19th century in America. So it is a rather late invention in the history of the Church. It sounds great but It is still plenty of nothing. Nobody can take Bible literally or he/she will go insane. Especially in the Old testament we find God, who is vengeful, angry, petty, jealous, punishing people with all kinds of terrible ways like stoning, pestilence, drowning, locusts, wars and genocides. He is just a sadist by nature. Worse than Hitler. In The New testament he is a little better but still there is the idea of eternal punishment: lake of fire, gehennah. And The Jews are children of the Devil, said Adolf...I mean Jesus. So it is not very unsurprising that somebody starts asking some questions. Usually when something like this happens, you have to go all the way. If there is no Hell, there is no need for Devil, no need for salvation, no need for Jesus, and no need for preaching. But if that is the way you have been taught and been living for decades, you have very small number of ways to go. Many times you go back and just keep on shouting your Hallelujah's. So all my sympathies go to mr. Pearson. Very few people can realize what he has been going through. Just believe me you are not alone in this...and this is not a reference to Jesus. So I recommend this to anyone who has any questions or doubts about fundamentalism. Wonderful performances from the whole cast.
