Burch points out that The War Room “would not allow anyone to work on the movie that was not Christian.” In fact, they said that no Jews were allowed to be a part of this production and she is calling for everyone to boycott the movie.

In addition, they also wanted people to work for free. “So you tell me how religion is an example of goodness? Sound to me like racism and taking advantage of people by using religion not to pay people.”

The War Room is a 2015 Christian drama movie directed by Alex Kendrick and produced by Stephen Kendrick. When asked about the title of the movie, director Kendrick says “‘War Room’ because, like the military, we should seek God for the right strategy before going into combat. By combat, I mean daily issues we face in our culture.”
