Rebellion of Thought is a critical look at the role of faith in a post-modern culture. What is post-Modernism? How has it affected our culture? How will it impact our future? What is the role of the church in a post-modern world? Does Man truly need God or is God merely a fairytale idea leftover from past cultural experiments.
These questions are the launching point for this new film by Charlottesville brothers Brad and Kent Williamson. They began work on a documentary exploration of post-modernity, but the film morphed into a critical look at the role of the Church in a post-modern world. Along the way, the filmmakers learn that living ones faith out in the culture is very different than living ones faith out within the walls of the Church. Featuring interviews with prominent philosophers and theologians such as Skip Burzumato and Drew Trotter of the UVA Center for Christian Study and Gene Edward Veith, Jr. of World magazine, Rebellion of Thought examines the transition from modernity to post-modernity as well as the issues surrounding this drastic shift in cultural ideology.
