Desc: War in Heaven, War on Earth: Directed by Chris Small, Loren Small. A nation splits apart. A church struggles to come together. In the 1840's - 1850's the United States wrestles over the issue of slavery, while former Millerites struggle to find their voice after a Great Disappointment. By the 1860's, both reach a tipping point. Will they come together or be torn apart forever? As the Civil War engulfs America, the Seventh-day Adventist denomination is established, and issues of faith, freedom, and duty to country clash as conflict threatens to divide both nation and church. "War in Heaven, War on Earth" explores the converging experiences of a nation at war and the formation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Today, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is nearing 20 million members and works in 216 countries or areas of the world in 947 languages. It operates the largest Protestant educational and health care systems in the world. But during the American Civil War, no one knew quite what it would become . . . or even if the movement would survive. "Fascinating!" say viewers. "I never knew how the events of the Civil War and the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church fit together." Follow Abraham Lincoln, John Loughborough, James and Ellen White, and other antebellum individuals through the momentous events of the 1860 election, the first shots of the Civil War, Bull Run, Shiloh, the formation of Seventh-day Adventism, Gettysburg, the Sioux uprising, the fall of Richmond, and other days of triumph and tragedy.
