9/10
All in the name of Sex!!!
6 September 2023
The movie "God Forbid: The Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty" is a documentary about the sex scandal involving Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife Becki, and Giancarlo Granda. The once-respected conservative Republican and Christian evangelist Jerry Falwell Jr. And his wife Becki saw their empire, the largest Christian university in the United States, crumble due to their involvement in a sexual scandal with former Miami pool attendant Giancarlo Granda. The documentary directed by Billy Corben, provides an in-depth look at the relationship between Giancarlo Granda and Jerry Falwell Jr. And his wife Becki, which spanned nearly a decade.

While it is not illegal to have extra-marital relations, Jerry Falwell Jr.'s position as the president of Liberty University, the largest Christian university in the United States, made his actions particularly controversial. Liberty University has a strict honor code that prohibits premarital sex, drinking alcohol, and other behaviors. Jerry and his wife Becki were seen as hiding behind a conservative, moral facade while engaging in behavior that went against the values they publicly espoused. This perceived hypocrisy is what made their actions so scandalous.

The documentary uses dramatic recreations, interviews, and footage from Giancarlo Granda's own cell phone to provide an in-depth look at a world of promiscuity, sex, power games, betrayal, politics, Hollywood actor, and Donald Trump.

At the end of the documentary left us feeling a sense of outrage towards the evangelical followers who allowed individuals like Jerry Falwell Jr. To amass wealth and power, even to the point of influencing the election of politicians to positions such as members of Congress, Senators, and even the President of the United States.
