Excellent! We went to see it twice! We learned so much about how the birth of our nation was influenced by the gospel of Jesus Christ through the ministry of George Whitefield. Franklin and Whitefield were excellently portrayed. We loved it!

Inspiring and educational on this our 250th bday celebration! I did not realize the friendship between Whitefield and Franklin till I watched this movie.

Excellent screenplay, acting, sets, and--above all--message for nation once again fallen into disunity and needing God's touch to raise us afresh to the newness of life found in His Son.

Loved the history of our country and the friendship between Franklin and Whitfield. The Gospel was proclaimed and that made the movie spiritually sound!

This movie is a MUST SEE. For those who know their church history, you will be impressed with how the movie holds true to history. The actors did an outstanding job depicting their characters. The movie struck at our hearts as believers in the best way possible. George Whitfield’s story was deeply stirring. I hope Sight and Sound will continue to put out more movies like this.

The acting, scenery, props, script, and story, were all wonderful. This historical movie was wonderful and inspiring, and the TRUE BIBLE was preached in it by George Whitfield. An inspiring movie for seasoned Christians and new believers both.

It is great to see historical movies that realistically tell the story of the Christian roots of our Republic. The forming of our Constitution paved the way for freedom for all. George Whitefield is part of history I had heard little of and I am so glad to experience this movie!

Very under-advertised. The storyline seemed to start slow. But once it started moving, I could see why. It was an excellent movie. The story-line marries the true characters that had purpose to change lives during the Revolutionary period. Resulting personal motivations in our current time are felt, as a person relates to the true characters of our Revolutionary time. It gives purpose. Moved to tears. This is a movie that will be watched over and over again!! I encourage you to watch it once alone, and the second time with non-Christians and Christians alike. Playing in theaters only until April 15th, 2026.

Centered upon the power of God, and our salvation only available through the love of his Son, this movie historically frames the challenges faced as our country grasped for its liberty, the internal and interpersonal struggles we all face as we grow, and real story behind the formation of our blessed republic. This is a must see for our youth, all Americans, and anyone else seeking answers to why we're really here.

I had never heard of George Whitefield. What an amazing miracle worker! Sounds like he about single-handedly made this country the Christian nation it is. Wow! I had no idea, and I am the better for it Very inspirational and exciting!

User review rating: 5 April 08, 2026

One of best movies I've ever seen. So inspiring!

User review rating: 5 April 08, 2026

This movie gives a true picture of the Life of George Whitefield. He was the greatest evangelist of The Great Wakening in both America and the British Isles. He touched the lives of more people than any other evangelist since the Apostle Paul. You must see it.

WELL DONE! Expressing how the people are feeling! About history the constitution & message of Jesus Christ Very powerful acting.

User review rating: 5 April 06, 2026

Very telling movie. Outstanding portrayal of such a revival in the 1700's.

User review rating: 4 April 04, 2026

Not a bad movie. It's quite moving really. The music is inspirational and beautiful. The influence of Whitefield on Franklin and eventually the country is impressive. But one could easily be led to believe that Franklin was a Christian convert and therefore made this a Christian nation. He was not. Near the end of his life, he wrote that he had doubts about the divinity of Jesus, believing that the moral system of Jesus was "the best the world ever saw or is likely to see," but that it had been corrupted by dogma and leaders interested in power.

This poignant movie about the friendship between George Whitfield (famous evangelist) and Benjamin Franklin is powerful, emotional, and inspirational. The commonality between Christianity and the founding of our nation are apparent: freedom for all. George Whitfield unified the country under God. The founding fathers built upon this unity and depended upon God as they wrote our Constitution. A must-see for all Christians, students, pastors, and patriots.
