In February 2006, Andrew Denton (ABCTV's "Enough Rope") travelled to Texas for the National Religious Broadcasters' Convention, the annual shindig for every televangelist powerbroker and wannabe in America.

This feature length documentary records what he found. By turns, serious and comic and sometimes a little disturbing, it examines the cutting edge of evangelical technology, the business of God, the America of the religious right, and what the inescapable truths of the Bible mean for US foreign policy and the Middle East. Avoiding cheap potshots by asking a range of Christians about their beliefs and experiences, the film is complex, layered and surprising.
