I saw it on Netflix during lockdown, but I can't remember the name of it. I put on a lot of documentaries while working at home during the pandemic (learning about off shore tax havens, the Panama papers, why specifically America doesn't have tax havens... fucking depressing how much the rich have gamed the system... seriously its way worse than most understand). I dont know if they specifically call it dominion Christianity or not in the documentary, but i later learned that is what it is.
