Constantine’s Sword

Director Oren Jacoby:

Our movie poses the question: Where did anyone get the idea that it was all right to kill people in the name of God?

When we started to make this film we were shocked to discover how many Americans don’t seem concerned about a possible breakdown between the separation of Church and State. They insist that America is a Christian nation, and have somehow revised history to convince themselves that this was a principle of our Founding Fathers. They don’t seem at all concerned about the message this sends to the people in the Middle East, where we’re entrenched in what’s already one of the longest wars ever fought by our country.
