Review: Is ‘Silhouette City’ this year’s ‘Jesus Camp?’
Clive James, in his review of “American Movie Critics” for the New York Times Book Review in 2006 wrote, “…it’s the movie itself that tells you it means business. It does that by telling a story. No story, no movie.”
“Silhouette City,” a new film by Michael Wilson, is a documentary about the rapid rise of religious extremism in America. It’s a haunting account of where the Christian evangelical movement has been and where it’s going, and it is impeccably researched.
Review: ‘Silhouette City’ Captures Essence of Christian Right as Supremacist Political Movement
It is the mark of a truly outstanding documentary that it can survive the test of a fast-changing political and religious landscape and remain relevant and even transcendent. There have been many superb documentaries in the last few years about religion and politics, but my own personal opinion is that Michael W. Wilson’s Silhouette City stands above the pack, and for one overriding reason – Wilson’s deep understanding of the dynamic in which the militant, militia-movement grounded Christian right of the 1980’s has morphed into a political movement that has penetrated the highest reaches of American governmental and military structures.
