Evangelical Film Institute Behind "Road to 9/11"

[mhatrw]

http://www.markandkrista.com/4559.html

So that's what we've decided to do. Starting in July, along with our 'normal' discipleship efforts in YWAM, we will officially join The Film Institute - a new auxiliary branch of Youth With A Mission focused on tranforming film and television from the inside out. TFI's first project is a doozy: simply being referred to as: The Untitled History Project, it is already being called the television event of the decade and not one second has been put to film yet. Talk about great expectations!

Our goal is to help filmmakers, actors, technicians, etc. realize their God given potential and purpose in perhaps the most influential sphere of modern culture - film and television.

http://www.markandkrista.com/30257.html

Our next big project is to assist in the development of the new YWAM auxiliary - The Film Institute (TFI). The Film Institute is dedicated to a Godly transformation and
revolution TO and THROUGH the Film and Television industry;

TO it, by serving, living humbly with integrity in what is often a world driven by selfish ambition, power an money - transforming lives from within,

and THROUGH it, by creating relevant and evocative content which promotes Godly principles of Truth married with Love.

Conference - Viva Latin America 2005

This was an international YWAM staff meeting which took place over 8 days in Belo Horinzonte. I arrived there earlier to help with the set up, and was actually working in 3 teams during the conference (Computers, Accomodation and Translation). It was a lot of work, but there was a lot of fruit and the conference was really a blessing for all of us. I translated a few seminars and really learnt a lot about the film industry with a team that had come from the US called "The Film Institute" or TFI for short.

http://www.uofnkona.edu/dts/MDTS-Broadcast.html

The Broadcast/Cinema Focus Discipleship Training School aims to equip a generation of emerging filmmakers with the discipleship tools, life skills and professionalism needed to impact millions through motion picture communication.

Students in the Broadcast/Cinema Focus DTS will experience the standard format and curriculum offered at any approved Youth With A Mission DTS worldwide (see box at right). After successfully completing the 12-week lecture phase, students will be sent on overseas field assignments to produce film and television projects developed during the lecture phase. They also will engage in personal and team evangelism, joining forces with local churches and long-term missionaries on the field.

Core content of the DTS

In the first 12 weeks of the school outstanding speakers will teach you how to know God and make Him known:
• The character and nature of God
• Listening to God
• How to know and communicate God's Word effectively
• Biblical world view
• Prayer, intercession, spiritual warfare
• Reconciliation
• Spiritual gifts
• God's heart for the poor and needy
• Missions and evangelism

Meet your school leaders

Kenny Jackson was born and raised near Washington, D.C. After completing his DTS in the early 80s, Kenny served for nine years on staff with YWAM in Asia, based in Hong Kong. He took a break from full-time missions in order to complete his degree in Communication. After doing so, Kenny became a staff producer/director with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), where he made evangelistic television movies, two of which received awards at Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival, and the CINE Golden Eagle Award, respectively. Today, Kenny is on the board of The Film Institute, and was recently appointed as International Dean of U of N's College of Communication. He has assembled a great staff and guest instructors who combine years of professional experience in film and television production, along with frontline service in YWAM and other Christian mission organizations.

Creepy, creepy shit. Is it a coincidence that, as I read their material, the words "Triumph of the Will" keep echoing through my brain?

2. I am so SICK of Xtians.

I like Christians, but true followers of Christ's teachings are harder to find in the mainstream these days. I think the mockumentary should be renamed, 'The Road to Hell', because 9/11 enabled Bush and his ilk to drag us there.

"by creating relevant and evocative content which promotes Godly principles of Truth married with Love"

Orwell is my hero. He called it. 22 years too late. But he called it. Newspeak.

34. If they want to promote godly principles

maybe they should start out by telling the truth? What a concept.

4. Bingo. PT911 director is son of YWAM founder

In a previous posting, PT911's director, David Cunningham, is revealed to be the SON of Loren Cunningham, the founder of YWAM (Youth with a mission). It'd be interesting to know if PT911 was bankrolled by YWAM and/or TFI alone, or if it received production money from corporate sponsors.

Hmmm...

12. The Lifeway for Youth scandal in Ohio (dead child) has led to

a bunch of christian youth musicians. Very interesting. The company's chairman is the pastor of a church in Ohio. He had a polling place in his basement in 2004. The "christians" got a frigging fifth colunm running in this country and now they're INVADING the entertainment business. I've started calling them HAMAS!

Mark Harris spoke following Braulia and showed a DVD clip by film director David L. Cunningham, who together with others has formed a YWAM auxiliary called The Film Institute (TFI). One goal of TFI is to fast-track UofN School of Digital Film interns, placing them within the film industry, not to give them jobs, but so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from the inside out.

[northernsoul]

16. I'm not sure where the link to the 9-11 movie is

Do we have anything other than our own logical inferences that shows that "The Untitled History Project" is, in fact, the ABC 9-11 propaganda piece? If so, this is a great find!

Today, tomorrow, and the day after that (Fri, Dat, Sun.), the base is hosting a TFI (The Film Institution) conference. It's basically just a bunch of people in the industry who get together and talk (about what, I'm not sure).

But Franki got me invited for Friday and Sunday. I've also been asked to interview on camera some of the people. I'll be interviewing David Cunningham, and others.

22. Christian Nationalism made easy as ABC

http://yuricareport.com/Dominionism/GrowingThreatOfRight-WingChristians.html

from alternet via Yurica Report.

The Growing Threat of Right-Wing Christians

Roychoudhuri: You frequently discuss the similarities between Christian
Nationalism and fascism and totalitarianism. Were you conflicted about
broaching this?
Goldberg: Among liberals, there is always talk about fascism and there's
a kind of agreement that you can't talk about it more publicly without
sounding like a lunatic. You don't want to sound like you're comparing
Bush to Hitler. We have no language to talk about the intermediate
stages of this kind of thing. But there are these really unmistakable parallels
to fascism, not as a government system, but to fascism in its early
stages. Before fascism is a government, it's a movement. It's not born
in power, it comes to power. I think it's time to talk about fascism or
another word for it. Christian Nationalism is one way to talk about it.
But there are things that are going on that are not normal, they're not
politics usual.

Roychoudhuri: You write of a pretty enormous communication chasm:
"Dialogue is impossible without some shared sense of reality... What's
lacking isn't just truth, it's the entire social mechanism by which
truth is distinguished from falsehood." How can we regain that?
Goldberg: I found the last chapter the hardest to write because I do
feel like in certain ways the problem is much larger than any solutions I've
come up with. There are all these voices on the right that can say
almost anything without consequence. You would never see Kerry joining hands
with someone from the Black Panther Party or someone from the ANSWER
coalition.

But there are people on the right who are calling for theocracy and
almost nothing they say discredits them; they're still treated as respectable
mainstream voices.


It's important to get people to pay attention to who these people really
are. People don't know what Reconstructionism is, so it doesn't occur to
them to be shocked when they see a Reconstructionist on a panel or at a
banquet table with congressmen. That should be politically damaging;
that should be embarrassing. And the media needs to stop treating it as "some
people say this" and "some people say that" as though it's balanced, as
though they're legitimate points of view.

23. A great find indeed.

We now have solid evidence as to who is behind this smear job. Shame on ABC.

[Avalux]

24. Great find!!!

These people are INSANE and I refuse to allow them to take over this country with their warped ideas of God and government.

"we'll tell you just what The Untitled History Project is just as soon as we're allowed to."

So WHO was giving the orders and running the show??

26. If there is tax-free status involved anywhere here, it should be revoked.

38. From the scrubbed website:

"As always, any financial contributions are tax deductible
and should be addressed to:
IPM
Attn: for Mark and Krista Harris
615 Knollwood Circle
Conyers, GA 30094"

Care to donate? :) The address is for something called the "International Prayer Ministries". Another evangelical, missionary organization.

40. Scrubbing the evidence is pretty damning.....

I think you got something here...

[mhatrw]

42. Yep.

It's one thing for the production to have murky "ties" to YWAM.

It's another for YWAM to be bragging about funding "The Path to 9/11" on their own (tax deductible contributions accepted) website.

[ThomWV]

39. What is their tax status? EXEMPT?

Maybe that could change, maybe they could pay some taxes on the money they took in to make the film.

[Marie26]

41. It's scary how quietly this was done.

UHP Productions was set up a shell corporation. The picture was filmed under a psuedonym. Everything was done in Canada. They made a real, concerted effort to keep the financing of this film a secret. And if it wasn't for this one person blabbing about it on their website, we still wouldn't know for sure who was behind it. How could they have created a $40 million dollar miniseries w/so much secrecy? That's the scariest thing to me. It makes me wonder what else might be flying under the radar.

47. Liberal media, my ass!

Consider that in the summer of 2004, Disney (ABC & ESPN) prohibited the distrubution Fahrenheit 911 because it "politicized 9/11" in an election year. In contrast, Disney has decided to broadcast the radical evangelical group funded The Path To 9/11 without commercials on network TV on the (day before and) fifth anniversary of 9/11 this year, much closer to an election than when they forbid distribution of a $120 million grossing domestic motion picture release just two years earlier.
