Hosts Brent Roberts and Sharon “Rocky” Roggio recap The 1946 Culture Shift Tour Across America in a 9 Episode Web-Series / Podcast.

As the 2024 election approaches, six advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights unite on a bold road trip to counter Project 2025, a political agenda aimed at eroding hard-won liberties. Traveling through the deep South, these individuals screen 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture—an award-winning documentary that explores how biblical mistranslations have fueled discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community. They conduct voter registration events, inspire marginalized voices, and engage in open discussions about the power of activism and the importance of standing up for one’s rights.

Throughout their journey, they share personal stories of resilience, reflecting on fear, heartbreak, and the courage it takes to live authentically in a polarized America. From betrayals by the church to societal pressures, each story paints a vivid picture of life on the margins. However, their collective hope shines as they confront misinformation, conduct candid street interviews, and advocate for equality. They remind viewers that for too long, the Bible has been weaponized against marginalized groups, threatening women’s rights, reproductive freedom, voter rights, and LGBTQIA+ equality.

From the Creators of 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture.
