Holy Fire
dir. Sam Roth
2019
Running time: 29 min.
Winner: Best Director (Sam Roth)
Winner: Audience Choice Award
When George Scott, a military veteran and Lutheran pastor in rural central Pennsylvania, took a leave of absence from his church to run a competitive race for U.S. Congress in 2018, he energized the Democratic base while creating an uncertain future for his congregation. Including everything from a controversial gun ad to a sudden spike in national attention, Holy Fire roots us firmly at the center of the campaign drama as the outcomes of George’s decision manifest on Election Day.
