A Great Awakening is a 2026 American historical drama film directed by Joshua Enck, set against the backdrop of colonial America, exploring the unlikely bond between revivalist preacher George Whitefield and founding father Benjamin Franklin, two men whose views on faith and reason could hardly have been more different.

What is A Great Awakening about?

Colonial Philadelphia becomes the stage for an improbable meeting of minds when fire-and-brimstone preacher George Whitefield arrives from England, drawing enormous crowds with his electrifying open-air sermons. Benjamin Franklin, the era's foremost voice of rational inquiry and scientific ambition, watches with skepticism — yet finds himself drawn into genuine friendship with the charismatic minister. As the Great Awakening religious movement reshapes the spiritual life of the American colonies, the two men wrestle with questions of faith, reason, liberty, and human nature. Their relationship forces each to examine his own convictions, even as the society around them tilts toward revolution and a new conception of the self.

Cast & crew

The film is directed by Joshua Enck. John Paul Sneed and Jonathan Blair lead the cast, supported by JT Schaeffer, Josh Bates, Joe Dignoti, Stephen Foster Harris, Zac Johnson, and Matt Meyer. The ensemble brings the 18th-century setting to life with period-faithful performances built around dialogue and conviction rather than spectacle.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking viewers and the Iranian diaspora, A Great Awakening resonates on several levels. The central tension — between spiritual fervour and rational inquiry — is a conversation Persian intellectual culture has long engaged with, from classical poets to modern reformist thinkers. Watching two giants of their age negotiate belief and doubt across a genuine friendship offers a kind of historical mirror. The film is available with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible to Farsi-first viewers without the need to follow English dialogue. History lovers, students of religion and philosophy, and fans of prestige drama will each find something to hold onto.
