Official Trailer for ‘1946 The Movie’ Doc Criticizing Biblical Literalism

“The authority of the bible is at stake.” An official trailer is out for an important documentary film titled in full 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture. After a festival run that captured over 20 awards including the Audience Award at the 2022 DOC NYC Film Festival, this will be out in theaters starting this December. Made by filmmaker Sharon “Rocky” Roggio, 1946 is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. The film chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen documents found in archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. With commentary from prominent scholars as well as opposing pastors, including the personal stories of the film’s creators, 1946 is at once challenging, enlightening, and inspiring. While other doc films have been successful in their attempt to treat the symptom of homophobia in the church, 1946 is working to diagnose and treat the disease – Biblical Literalism. Yes, it is meant to be provocative and clear – starting an important conversation that needs to be had. Hopefully this film will changes things. // Continue Reading ›
