America's 50-million strong Evangelical community is convinced that the world's future is foretold in Biblical prophecy - from the Rapture to the Battle of Armageddon. This astonishing documentary explores their world - in their homes, at conferences, and on a wide-ranging tour of Israel. By interweaving Christian, Zionist, Jewish and critical perspectives along with telling archival materials, the filmmakers probe the politically powerful - and potentially explosive - alliance between Evangelical Christians and Israel...an alliance that may set the stage for what one prominent Evangelical leader calls "World War III."
CLOSING NIGHT FILM - 2009 New York Jewish Film Festival
“Presents Christians’ creeds in their own words yet also allows for the expression of differing opinions…This documentary provides balanced information about a very important political and religious movement and is highly recommended for all viewers.” – Kathleen Sullivan, Phoenix Public Library, via Library Journal
"Carefully avoiding what could have been cheap sensationalism, Waiting for Armageddon is an extraordinarily impressive work that manages to take a complex, in ways contradictory subject and present it in a lucid, perceptive manner that allow us to understand the phenomenon of Christian Zionism and pre-Tribulation politics." - Richard Peña, Film Society of Lincoln Center
"Alarmingly good and incendiary." - Village Voice
