Although we are still putting the finishing touches on The Gates of Whiteclay, an exciting premiere season will be here before we know it. Even now, communities across the United States are laying the groundwork for special screenings — and, in some cases, mini-conferences.
If you have taken time to view the film trailer, you already know what is in store. This is an amazing story of God transforming a seemingly hopeless community in response to persevering prayer. After nine years of spiritual gestation (the length of time required to develop a full-length documentary), The Gates of Whiteclay is on the verge of being born.
The absolute best way to view the film when it is released after the holidays is by attending a premiere showing with friends. Most premiere venues are located in churches, schools, or theatres, which means the viewing experience is excellent. In addition, Sentinel Group teams will be present at each showing to introduce the story, answer questions, and present exciting follow-up opportunities.
Although premiere tours will begin in the United States, we anticipate introducing the film into other parts of the world sometime after the summer of 2025. It is likely this will start with English-speaking nations and then progress into other regions once the film has been translated into relevant languages.
Given the United States’ broad expanses and numerous population centers, locating a nearby premiere can sometimes take some doing. No less than 1,500 American cities boast a population of at least 25,000 people!
We are currently working with various communities to finalize specific dates and venues for each premiere. (See list of active states below.) As these details become available, we will be posting them here. In the meantime, you can sign up for updates so you don't miss any new information.
