[CREATOR TALK] For Those Who Carry Us

Cam James has spent years investigating the ways power, politics, and belief shape people’s lives, and his skepticism began long before he became an investigative filmmaker. In this 10-minute talk, he traces that skepticism back to a childhood encounter with religion and examines what his work has taught him about the real-world consequences of religious ideology in government. From abortion bans and maternal mortality to the erosion of medical privacy, Cam explores how Christian nationalism turns religious beliefs into policies that govern people’s bodies and autonomy. At the heart of his argument is a simple principle: in a country built on the separation of church and state, no one’s rights should depend on someone else’s religion.
