Rick Santorum’s production company said Monday that it would release a documentary film exploring the retail chain Hobby Lobby’s legal case against the Obamacare contraception mandate, the same day the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the chain’s Christian owners.
A trailer for the film, called “One Generation Away,” teases interviews with the likes of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) between images of a young girl walking through a field to a cross.
“The cross is ubiquitous,” a voice in the trailer states. “It’s the preeminent symbol of Christianity. It’s a government advertisement for one religion.”
EchoLight Studios president Jeff Sheets said the film “clearly presents the complex perspective on important issues, like the recent Hobby Lobby case, that your average Christian American doesn’t think about every day,” as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is slated to be released Sept. 1.
Watch the trailer below:
Grifters gotta grift. And froth.
I hope it gets wide distribution and tons of media coverage to remind Dems of this awful case and how much further Republicans want to take it.
Cool! A real underdog story about how one privately held corporation, promoted by radical pro-corporate interests, manipulated religious fervor and rank partisanship to get away with denying basic healthcare access to their employees, all while promoting themselves as the true defenders of liberty.
It’s just like the ‘Hunger Games’ in reverse. Audiences are going to eat this up!
Perhaps a more interesting doc would be about a homophobic Pennsylvania Senator named Rick Santorum who got thrown out of office once the electorate discovered his bogus ‘charities’ were actually a way of funneling money to his buddies and family. Just the kind of ‘religion’ the right wingers love. . . . . . .
Starring in the Main Role:
Foster Friess as Grampy Grumblepants.
IMDb tagline, synopsis submission, and parental guide still pending, though the latter is most likely rated “J” for juvenile.
The entire movie is centered around Grampy Grumblepants uttering,
“…this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s so – it’s such – inexpensive, you know, back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”
Its just so quaint…Like “Pleasantville” without the color.
To wit, I predict the entire audience will prompty walk out of the theatre and declare this massive failure by Producer Santorum and his neverending campaign for President of the US finally ended…or as he’s likely to put it “permanently suspended”…because…JEEZUZ told him so.
