In today’s world of increasingly woke culture, most media groups have turned away from creating content that features the traditional and religious values upon which America was founded. Modern film and television productions often aim to bolster an agenda and force certain woke narratives upon the audience.
And this fact fits in perfectly with what we see in all aspects of our modern society. From our deteriorating education system to the Big tech corporations that try to sway the American public, woke media is just another tool to tear down America’s traditional values that hold this great country together.
But there are plenty of people still fighting in the film industry to preserve the classical ways, but big Hollywood studios refuse to work with them due to this very fact, and they are then left with little to no budget to film.
But a trailblazing series “The Chosen” seems to have found a way around this obstacle, using innovative methods to finance its production. Through a widespread crowdfunding campaign, viewers can stream the show for free but are given the opportunity to help fund future seasons by contributing donations to the show. As of 2021, viewers had contributed around $40 million towards its production, making it one of the most successful crowdfunded entertainment projects.
This show also happens to be the first-ever multi-season series about the life of Jesus Christ and follows him as he gathers his first disciples. From a charismatic fisherman struggling with debt, to a troubled woman wrestling with demons, to a gifted accountant who was ostracised from his family and people, he helps them all as he embarks on his ministry to change the world.
The United States of America was founded on values and ideas deeply steeped in religious principles. From the very first lines of the Declaration of Independence that reference the Creator, to the numerous God-given rights guaranteed in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights, religion has been a driving force behind the country we know and love today.
But with record-high numbers of Americans now turning away from religion, this series is part of a widespread effort to promote the numerous traditional values upon which this country was built.
With the ground-breaking first season now available on EpochTV, watch as Jesus reaches all those around him as he works his first miracles, and see him through the eyes of those who knew him.
