Podcast Extra: “Truth & Treason” Director Matt Whitaker on Working with Angel Studios

This week we spoke with Matt Whitaker about his film “Truth & Treason.” He’s coming back to talk more about the movie, as well as making it with Angel Studios.

Angel is the company that distributed the film “Sound of Freedom” and the TV series “The Chosen.” They say they make “values-based” content, much of it Christian faith-affirming and marketed to right-leaning audiences. But Matthew Whitaker says “Truth & Treason” doesn’t fit those categories, and Angel itself wants to broaden its audience. And he’s clear that Angel supported his vision for the film. Still, Whitaker worries that “Truth & Treason” is in danger of being co-opted by the MAGA right, and he’s joining us to talk about the way he thinks his film fits into the current moment.
