God's Not Dead: We the People is a 2021 American Christiandrama film directed by Vance Null, with a script written by Tommy Blaze, from an original story co-authored by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman.[2] The sequel to God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness and the fourth installment in the God's Not Dead series, the plot centers around Rev. David "Dave" Hill's role in presenting a case for God before Congress. The film was released on October 4, 2021, in a three-night theatrical engagement,[3] and grossed over $1.1 million in the domestic box office.
A group of parents led by a local pastor are home-schooling their children when a representative from social services makes an unannounced visit and determines the parents' teaching is not sufficient, in light of the requirements of the common core state standards. A local judge, played by Jeanine Pirro, gives them a week to prove that their education is adequate or the students will be forced to go to public school. The pastor and the parents head to Washington, D.C. to testify in front of a Congressional sub-committee on home-schooling. Much of the last half of the film consists mainly of long speeches by the parents, pastor, and members of Congress over the topic of home-schooling.

Productionedit
The film's production was announced on David A. R. White's Instagram in late 2020.[9] It was filmed in Oklahoma during the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]
Receptionedit
The film, like its predecessors, was largely panned by critics. Steve Pulaski of Influx Magazine gave the film a rare "F" letter-grade, criticizing the plot and message saying, "God's Not Dead: We the People is not merely the worst in an already-misbegotten series, but so utterly deplorable that its status as a three-night-only event in theaters at least assures that significantly fewer people will see it."[11]
Conservative Christian film critic Christian Toto praised the film, stating that while it "shares the franchise’s flaws...its bold mission statement has never been more necessary."[12]
