Fun Facts

A Great Awakening (2026) dramatizes the unlikely friendship between Reverend George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin during the First Great Awakening, a spiritual revival that unified pre-Revolutionary American colonies. Set amid colonial tensions, Whitefield's fiery sermons spark mass conversions while Franklin—initially skeptical—becomes his key promoter, discovering that true liberty begins in transformed hearts.
