A Great Awakening (2026) is a tightly focused historical drama about the friendship between George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin during the Great Awakening. Its lens is narrow by design: two white men, a faith-centered narrative, and a patriotic frame. That focus explains the near-zero diversity scores across most categories. The film’s cultural score reflects its deliberate emphasis on evangelical Christianity and religious conflict, positioning faith as a driving, positive force. For audiences seeking that perspective, the movie delivers a clear, purposeful story. However, the absence of women, people of color, LGBTQ+ characters, and disabled characters is stark. The result is a historically specific but demographically limited portrait of 1780s America.
