The only time I’ve cried more during a movie than the first time I saw The Armor of Light was probably the second time I saw The Armor of Light. Abigail Disney’s documentary about a rare confluence of Evangelical Christianity and gun control isn’t afraid to go for the emotional jugular — indeed, some may dismiss it as being too manipulative — and it subtly lets you know in advance that it’s about to be relentless. In its opening scenes, we see archival footage of one of the film’s main subjects, Reverend Rob Schenck, back when he was a young preacher protesting a Buffalo abortion clinic in the 1980s. At one point during the protest, he carries what appears to be a small preserved fetus in his hands, as cries rain down on him to be ashamed of himself. It’s a tactic that, for Schenck and his supporters at least,...

What does it truly mean to be “pro-life”? This is the theological, moral, and philosophical question taken up by Evangelical leader Rev. Rob Schenck in Abigail E. Disney’s documentary, “The Armor of Light.” “Pro-life” has become synonymous with the anti-abortion cause in America, and Rev. Schenck has been an important leader in that movement. But he takes the term “pro-life” literally, and vehemently believes that it extends beyond the birth of a baby. He also finds it contradictory to be “pro-life” with a gun in hand, unlike many of his conservative Christian contemporaries. The film follows his spiritual journey as he attempts to reconcile “pro-life” and “pro-gun,” and it finds that, at least for him, those two stances are not a match made in heaven. Schenck started to question the true meaning of his pro-life stance in the early ‘90s, when an abortion provider was shot and killed in Buffalo,...

As is always the case around this time of year, the Academy has given us a hint as to what’s eligible for nominations in certain categories. Today, I have the recently released list of eligible contenders in Best Documentary Feature to share with you all. There’s 124 docs in total hoping to score one of the five slots open at the Academy Awards. Historically, Oscar is fairly picky with their subject matter, but they do throw up some curveballs from time to time. This year, they’ll have as unique a choice to make as any, especially considering how there’s no true frontrunner right now. Of the numerous titles in contention, there’s a large group that bears specifically keeping an eye on. Just a small sample includes 1971, Above and Beyond, Amy, The Armor of Light, Batkid Begins, Best of Enemies, Cartel Land, The Diplomat, Every Last Child,...

“The Armor of Light” director Abigail Disney has identified what she sees as a subtle yet significant distinction between what’s stalling efforts to address gun violence in the U.S. and what will advance them. “I made this film because I believe in my heart that there first has to be dialogue,” said Disney. “There is no dialogue right now, there is just debate.” Disney waded into the ongoing conversation over whether the government should invoke tighter restrictions on firearms purchases after TheWrap‘s Award Series screening at the Landmark Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

An anti-abortion evangelical minister might not be the most obvious candidate to question the pro-gun movement in the United States, but his challenge is at the intriguing center of "The Armor Of Light."

The Armor Of Light follows an Evangelical minister and the mother of a teenage shooting victim who ask, is it possible to be both pro-gun and pro-life? What price conscience? Abigail Disney’s directorial debut, The Armor Of Light, follows the journey of an Evangelical minister trying to find the courage to preach about the growing toll of gun violence in America. The film tracks Reverend Rob Schenck, anti-abortion activist and fixture on the political far right, who breaks with orthodoxy by questioning whether being pro-gun is consistent with being pro-life.
