From Kristin Kobes Du Mez, the creator/author of *Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation*, comes a powerful new documentary highlighting how a culture of submission and sexual abuse in the evangelical church ties directly to the Christian Nationalist quest to deprive all American women of basic democratic rights. It delves into how the church has cared more about power and political influence than love, and how the harm done to women and children threatens to extend beyond faith communities. *For Our Daughters* speaks to all women of faith, encouraging them to use their voices and their votes to ensure that their daughters will have the rights to health and happiness guaranteed to all Americans.
