Fall from Grace (2007)

Directed by K. Ryan Jones

Documentary

Overview

The shocking story of Rev. Fred Phelps, the Westboro Baptist Church, those who oppose it, and those who chose to leave it all behind. The first feature-length documentary to explore the hate-filled world of Rev. Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS. Since the mid-90s, this group has participated in nearly 25,000 anti-homosexual demonstrations around the world. With signs that say things like “God hates fags,” “You’re going to Hell,” “Thank God for 9/11,” “God hates your tears,” “Thank God for dead soldiers,” the small congregation of 75 members has garnered international attention, especially now that they have targeted military funerals as a venue for their picketing. ‘Fall From Grace’ features interviews with Rev. Phelps, other members of the church, many of its dissenters, and two members that left the church and their family behind. Written by KRJ

Viewing Notes

Another frustrating documentary on religion. This is a look at the Westboro Baptist Church. Well done and let’s the members of the “church” show their true racist and homophobic colors.
