God's Not Dead: We the People (2021)

'God's Not Dead: We the People' is the 4th film in this series dedicated to Christian persecution-splotaion. Reverend David A.R. White heads to Washington with a group of home school parents to defend their rights against elitist, anti-God, strawman who somehow manage to get elected in the most religious democracy in the first world. This movie ends with an angry speech it feels like White has been waiting to give for some time.

 The film marks the return of Muslim convert Hadeel Sittu from the first film, and offers something of a redemption arc for her abusive father, one which falls short of his conversion to Christianity, so impressive for this franchise. Fox News personality Judge Jeanine Pirro has a part as a secularist judge, and from this performance I suspect she makes a better actress then almost anyone else on her network, though I'd love to see Hannity try some acting, it would probably be very (unintentionally) funny. They actually went to Washington to do some filming for this movie, yet none of the interiors are credible as the halls of congress. This film is so all over the place and half-assed with its subplots that I liked it more then it's predisascors, but that still translates to *1/2.
