Haverland, Sarah (MW) The Family 100

The Family, directed by Jesse Moss, is a documentary series that is based on a book. Jeff Scarlet wrote the original book, and he is the one that saw The Family first hand. It goes into depth about Doug Coe, the associate director, and the "secretive conservative organization" that was happening at Washington D.C. Coe had strong beliefs in his faith and believed that God's work is best done in the public eye. It has been a big part of politics since President Dwight E. Eisenhower but always seemed to be overlooked by the public eye. The Family is the organizers of the National Prayer breakfast, and this documentary shows that it isn't exactly what it says. Many people never saw the effect of this "organization" until the book, and now the documentary was released.
