Footnotes with Dr. Jemar Tisby

Homestead Movie Review


Listen Later

In this episode, I take a closer look at Homestead, the post-apocalyptic drama from Angel Studios based on the novel Black Autumn. I explore its themes of faith, anti-government sentiment, and personal property rights, plus its connection to real-world trends like doomsday prepping and Christian nationalism. Join me as I unpack how this film reflects the intersection of faith, politics, and culture.

Key Themes:

  1. Plot and Production ContextHomestead adapts Black Autumn to showcase survivalism, faith, and societal collapse.
  2. Anti-Government Narrative: The film critiques federal institutions, highlighting themes of tyranny and resource control.
  3. Religious Messaging: Heavy-handed Christian motifs like Noah’s Ark and miraculous conversions drive the story’s resolution.
  4. Real-World Parallels: Reflects trends in doomsday prepping and libertarian ideologies among the ultra-wealthy.
  5. Cultural Implications: Examines how media shapes public perceptions of faith, politics, and self-reliance.
