Marc Fennell explores The Kingdom

Religion & Spirituality, Society & Culture

Award winning journalist Marc Fennell joins Rach and Dean as they discuss his new documentary, The Kingdom.

It investigates how Australia produced one of the world’s most successful and scandal plagued megachurches Hillsong…and asks if this kingdom is crumbling then who will take its place?

For Rachel, and many in our communities, the themes of this documentary hold a different weight, but this sin’t about religion being right or wrong, as Marc meets current and fellow former believers who expose the human cost of the Pentecostal juggernaut, and delves into how allegations of bullying, sexual assault and financial mismanagement have eroded Hillsong’s once mighty empire.   

The Kingdom premiers on SBS on 7:30pm on Sunday 11th June and is available on SBS Demand from Thursday 8th June.
