Full Plot Details

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. Reverend Schenck is shocked and perplexed by the reactions of his long-time friends and colleagues who warn him away from this complex, politically explosive issue. Along the way, Rev. Schenck meets Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis, an unarmed teenager who was murdered in Florida and whose story has cast a spotlight on "Stand Your Ground" laws. Along with McBath's lawyer, John M. Phillips, she is on a difficult journey of her own, trying to make sense of her devastating loss while using her grief to effect some kind of viable and effective political action-where so many before her have failed. ARMOR follows these unlikely allies through their trials of conscience, heartbreak and rejection, as they bravely attempt to make others consider America's gun culture through a moral lens. The film is also a courageous look at our fractured political culture, and an assertion that it is, indeed, possible for people to come together across deep party lines to find common ground.

Movie Reviews

New York Magazine (Vulture) - 9/10 by Bilge EbiriFar beyond the courage of its convictions, The Armor of Light also has the intelligence and grace to embrace its contradictions. It’s a beautiful, conflicted piece of work.
Variety - 9/10 by Justin ChangChristian leaders calling for gun control are the subjects of Abigail Disney's intelligent and emotionally charged documentary.
Paste Magazine - 9/10 by Monica CastilloIt's slickly filmed, making great use of the good pastor's stained glass windows and framing the difficult conversations beautifully.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA conscience stirring documentary about two Christians and their crusade for gun control.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Tanner HowardThis is still a tale worth telling, and its bright moments shine through.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Sandie Angulo ChenInsightful docu poses questions about faith, gun reform.
Beliefnet - 8/10 by Nell MinowThis is a powerful film, all the more so because it struggles with its subjects to find common cause.
AV Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayThe main reason to see The Armor Of Light is to spend more time with Schenck, and to get a sense of how deeply he’s thought about all of this.
New York Post - 8/10 by Sara StewartWatching Schenck and McBath campaign to fellow Christians for a dissociation between God and guns, you suspect their words are falling on deaf ears.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Amber WilkinsonAbigail Disney's directorial debut takes a fresh approach to the issue, looking at the increasingly close links between gun ownership and the evangelical faith in America.
