Documentary film “ARTICLE VI: Faith* Politics* America”, in which the scene of protested historic first Hindu prayer in United States Senate appears prominently, is reportedly making the rounds of leading film festivals.

According to Jack R. Donaldson, Director of award winning “Living Biography” who made this film, this documentary will be screened in some of the renowned film festivals in USA and Canada, including Washington DC Independent Film Festival.

The scene when Rajan Zed, Hindu leader, who read this first prayer in the 218 years history of the Senate, was protested, appears prominently in this documentary alongside interviews of protesters and others about their reactions to Hindu prayer in the Senate, besides Zed.

Directed by Bryan D. Hall and Jack R. Donaldson under Living Biography Media banner, this documentary, which took over two years to make, offers an intense discussion of the role of faith in politics and examination of the religious freedom and intolerance in America.
