BBC did not know of 9/11 film's link to religious right

The BBC broadcast a controversial docu-drama, The Path to 9/11, this week without realising that it had been made by a member of the US religious right. The three-hour programme, shown over two nights on BBC2 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the attack on the twin towers, was purchased from ABC, a subsidiary of Disney. At the last minute the US television company was forced to re-edit sequences after claims of distortion from former president Bill Clinton and members of his administration.
A BBC spokesman said the organisation did not vet film-makers on their political or religious beliefs.
The film's director, David Cunningham, is active in Youth With a Mission (Ywam), a fundamentalist evangelical organisation founded by his father, Loren Cunningham. According to its publications, the group believes in demonic possession, spiritual healing and conservative sexual morality.
Last month David Cunningham addressed a conference in England organised by the group at its UK headquarters in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, on the making of the film. His talk was entitled Christ-like Witness in the Film Industry.
According to one of the group's publications,"David and his wife Judy are the nucleus of an association of more than 40 Ywam alumni who are called to the communications industry in the Los Angeles area ... to create an independent film company whereby he could both influence the Hollywood film industry and produce major motion pictures that would carry a Biblical, values-based message".
Speaking from the Harpenden HQ, where would-be "disciples" pay more than £2,000 for six-month courses, the missionary organisation's international chair, Lynn Green, said that Mr Cunningham's influence in the film was limited. "He was hired by Disney to direct. He was not...

And just what are the idiological 'leanings' of those who have written, produced and packaged. . .bought/sold 'Death of a President'? . . .

Only where Christianity and Judaism are concerned.
Most critics of David Cunningham and Mel Gibson live in a spiritual darkness and thus they cannot find the light switch to turn on the spiritual light. Our responsibility is to give them a flashlight (or a "torch" if you're British).
Thanks for your explanation. Looks like my caveat may not have been called for. It seemed you inferring Lauren C. in the same camp.
OH
MY
GOSH!
ABC IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT! They, not David Cunningham, put this together. They invited Cunningham to direct it. It's based in part on a book by the ABC reporter, John Miller, called The Cell, which is based on his investigative work.
At 78 RPM
Did they know that Farenheit 911 was made by a member of the loony left?
"Only where Christianity and Judaism are concerned."
Agreed. The root cause is their feeling of anger and envy directed towards successful Jewish and Christian conservatives.
Loren Cunningham was/is top flight. I respect him as much as any Christian of our era and a lot more than 98% of the others.
He had a real heart for God and for man.
YWAM is a human organization and has made mistakes here and there but on the whole, they do a wonderful job in a lot of places most folks would not want to get near.
Praise God for the son's efforts.
How can I email them and give them a piece of my religious right mind?
"the group believes in demonic possession"
Has the BBC ever listened to Howard Dean?
= = =
Or looked in Shrillery Machiavelli Klintoon's eyes?
or for that matter, George Galloway?

Indeed. I think his night job is to lick the toe jam of Bellzebub.
Surprised it didn't show slick willie with his head spinning around, LOL.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

INDEED!
I don't know if ABC has joined the religious right, but clearly there are some people at ABC who don't want Hillary Rodham Rodham to be the Democrat presidential nominee. ABC also ran a Nightline show a few months ago that was pointedly critical of the lack of CIA hiring during the Clinton years.
OK. Who let the Christians out of the cage?
So, the left once more is pure as the driven snow while Christians are assumed to be idots.

Of course!
That's one of the CARDINAL DOCTRINES OF:
--THE PUPPET MASTERS in behalf of their satanic global government goals.
--and therefrom, the university leadership
--and the MSM leadership and troops
--and most of the U.S. Senate
--and the religion of science's high priests and rank and file priests
