"Bad Faith" Film Screening

Join the Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute for the second film in our 2024-2025 Rights! Camera! Action! Film Series. "Bad Faith" is a feature-length documentary that explores the dangerous rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States. Part archival chronicle, part exposé, the film reveals the secretive political machinery that has relentlessly sought to weaken and destroy American democracy in order to promote its authoritarian vision.

Afterward, join us for a discussion with prize-winning author and journalist Anne Nelson. Her most recent book is "Shadow Network: Media, Money and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right," a primary source for the documentary "Bad Faith." Her book "Red Orchestra: The Berlin Underground and the Circle of Friends Who Resisted Hitler" was named a New York Times Editors Choice. It was featured on the PBS series "Rise of the Nazis," and was recently reissued in a paperback edition by Bloomsbury, with new material on its relevance for our times. Nelson has taught at Columbia University for over twenty years, and currently serves as a Research Scholar at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. She is a native of Oklahoma, a graduate of Yale University, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
