A new documentary film from PBS’s Frontline, in collaboration with The Associated Press, chronicles Michael Flynn’s career from national security insider to spiritual war fighter.

Retired lieutenant general Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about conversations with Russia’s ambassador in 2017. He was later pardoned by former President Donald Trump in November of 2020. Flynn now believes that America is in the middle of a spiritual and political war.

How did Michael Flynn go from a soldier to waging a spiritual war? What will the future of the evangelical movement look like?

From FRONTLINE and The Associated Press is "Michael Flynn's Holy War." The film premieres Tuesday, October 18 at 9 p.m. on KLRN. It will also be available to stream on pbs.org/frontline, YouTube and in the PBS Video App.

Guest: Michelle Smith, reporter at The Associated Press and a correspondent for "Michael Flynn's Holy War," a FRONTLINE documentary in collaboration with The Associated Press
