/ Synopsis

What if none of it was an accident?

A post-COVID narrative feature on what actually happened to our country — and what could have. Indeed, if we just told you about the last decade, you probably wouldn't believe it. So we've decided to show it to you.

Written by a former member of Congress, author and talk show host, State of Deception tells the harrowing story of ‘deep state’ spying, secret lab leaks, riots, and orchestrated pandemic psychosis that harassed, censored and isolated young and old alike. They even shut down our churches.

In a Capitol ruled by corrupt media and money, a newly-elected Midwestern Senator stumbles upon a vast conspiracy and starts to connect the dots between a nation in turmoil and a globalist cabal gone ‘viral’ in more ways than one. Soon he's in a life-or-death struggle in a riveting race against time to save the country — and himself.

/ Why This Film

This is not a documentary. It's a feature film grounded in character, consequence, and restraint — and yes, the power of prayer. The goal is not to merely inform, but to put the audience inside the pressure and let them feel what it costs to do the right thing when the system is built to prevent it.

We believe stories carry moral weight. Politics is downstream of culture and our culture is shaped by the stories we tell — and the ones others are afraid to tell.

/ Why We're Crowdfunding

Independent films that challenge powerful institutions are rarely funded through traditional channels. They are diluted, softened, or never made at all. Crowdfunding allows us to protect the integrity of this story, retain creative independence, and build the film alongside people who believe telling the truth about this troubled time is important.

Every contribution — large or small — is an act of stewardship.
