THE SATANIC PANIC AND THE RELIGIOUS BATTLE FOR THE IMAGINATION

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

A documentary that examines the "Satanic Panic" of the Nineteen-Eighties through the eyes of the Reverend Derek White, aka The Geekpreacher.

For Reverend Derek White, the “Satanic Panic” of the Nineteen-Eighties had many targets but the weirdest one was his beloved game Dungeons & Dragons. Despite real cults and actual societal dangers, the role playing game (also known as D&D) became an almost hysterical focus of psychologists, parental groups and religious leaders. 

In a feature documentary we follow Derek as he examines his journey through the satanic panic as a D&D loving kid along with his many friends that were affected, including those that helped design the game itself.
