The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theatres around the country to present the nationwide premiere of “God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust” showing Sept. 13-18 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

In a time of profound political, civil, and spiritual turmoil, Reverend David Hill grapples with the crucial question: Does God still have a place in politics?

Compelled to enter a congressional race after the sudden death of a favored incumbent, David faces off against state senator Peter Kane, a formidable opponent determined to push religion out of the public square and cause greater divide.

With relentless scrutiny and immense challenges, David’s campaign becomes a beacon of hope and optimism for many people yearning for spiritual and moral leadership. As he navigates the treacherous waters of modern politics, David’s faith and principles are put to the ultimate test.

“God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust” explores the enduring relevance of faith in public life and the critical fight to keep religious values at the heart of governance.

Featuring a star-studded cast — including David A.R. White, Dean Cain, Scott Baio, Charlene Tilton, Ray Wise and Samaire Armstrong — and powerful message, this film calls on believers to stand firm in faith and make their voices heard.

One of the stars of the film — actress and Sedona resident Samaire Armstrong — will be in person at the theatre to host a Q&A discussion at the Saturday, Sept. 14 screening at 7 p.m.

“God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Sept. 13-18. Showtimes will be Friday, Sept. 13 at 3:30 p.m.; Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 14, 17 and 18 at 7:00 p.m.; and Sunday and Monday, Sept. 15 and 16 at 4:00 p.m.
