PBS POV Almost American Doc indicts Trump Venal Border Policies

    I lived in Collinsville Alabama, my mother's hometown for Thirty years from Dec of 86 to Jan 30 , 2020.  In this most ethnically diverse town in the state I got to know the Padilla's from Elsalvador. We often talked about Oscar Romero. Tony the father as a boy on different occasions saw Jesse Helms friend Roberto Daubuisson and on another occasion Oscar Romero.

     Romero with Martin Luther King Jr and Dietrich Bonhoeffer are in bust in Westminster Abbey in London as the three great Christian martyrs of the 20th Century.

     Daubuisson boasted of drawing straws for he considered the privilege of assassinating Romero.

      Watch this documentary if you have any idea of what it means to be a Christian who will cast a vote in November. Friends the jig is up. I told staffers for Bama Senator Katie Britt, a product of the FUMC of Montgomery Al as much this morning, and Congresswoman Bull Shit Nancy Mace of the Seacoast mega church of Mt Pleasant. You cannot square Jesus Christ and the legacies of King, Romero and Bonhoeffer  with Trump and his venal Borders policies and strategies. The Doc is clear on that.

    Marina was in a 92 doc on Collinsville Alabama, Blessings of Liberty whose director got a six minute standing ovation in Cannes two years ago for his doc on David Bowie. Brett Morgen has also produced and directed docs on Jane Goodall, and Crossfire Hurricane on the Rolling Stone.

    Ten years later Marina and her story were featured in a doc shown statewide on Collinsville produced by the University of Alabama.

     From the Catholic Student Ministry at St Francis in Tuscaloosa underwritten by Nick Saban, to the Collinsville Historical Association, to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Alliance of Baptists to the Auburn Democracy Project, Informed discerning Christians are on notice and invited to watch this doc in earnest and See Something, Say Something
