More Detail:
The movie opens as the McKinnon family in Arkansas prepares for the morning of a homeschooling co-op. A portion of the co-op includes theology and reading with the Rev. Dave with a group of children from his church, St. Judes, and the younger of the two McKinnon children.
However, during the Rev. Dave’s lesson on the Great Flood in Genesis, a government official conducts a surprise inspection of the learning environment in the McKinnon’s home and ends up writing the children’s parents a court summons, claiming their schooling is insufficiently politically correct.
At first, the Rev, Dave is skeptical about fighting the government and proposes changing the homeschooling curriculum to more align with what the leftists in the United States Dept. of Education want in schools to brainwash children. However, the parents of the co-op and Pastor Dave agree to take a stand for their constitutional rights after Dave recalls a conversation about liberty with an old friend from Africa, the late Rev. Jude.
The McKinnons, the Rev. Dave, a missionary who just got back to America from Communist China, and a widowed mother named Taylor Hays all head to Washington D.C. to plead their case. Upon arriving, Dave meets with one of the few Christian congressmen who helps prepare him for the coming battle.
Despite impassioned arguments about why a faith-based education reflects the faith and the freedoms upon which America is founded, the power hungry chairman is unmoved. Taylor Hays even explains that the trauma her son faces from the passing of her father would make public school impossible for him. However, the chairman dismisses every point.
After almost a week in Congress, and an all but closed case that would fine the families involved in the homeschool co-op, all hope seems to be lost. Against all odds, will Dave and the homeschooling parents successfully defend their faith and liberty?
WE THE PEOPLE is a strongly pro-patriotic movie about the Christian roots of the United States and its constitution and the importance for Americans to fight for their freedoms. WE THE PEOPLE has some expository moments, but they’re augmented by its moral and faith-based content, emphasizing God’s word, pro-liberty themes, standing up to tyranny, and honoring those who have served to hold onto America’s freedom. MOVIEGUIDE® encourages parents to watch WE THE PEOPLE with their children.
