An American Pastoral
2024-11-16 | 119 minutes
Plot Summary
In picturesque Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, a battle for the soul of public education exposes deepening political and cultural divides. This gripping documentary follows the rise of far-right Christian nationalists vying for control of the local school board, targeting LGBTQ+ books and promoting a theocratic agenda under the guise of religious values. As moderate Republicans resign, extremists fill the vacuum, pushing censorship and white-supremacist ideologies. With democracy and secular education on the line, a few brave citizens resist the tide. Through charged school board meetings and grassroots activism, the film captures a chilling portrait of a community in crisis—and the LGBTQ+ students who risk being erased.
