Its been four years since Fireproof’s leading man Kirk Cameron appeared in the impactful marriage film but he hasn’t been resting. Working on his latest film Monumental, Cameron is looking to make an even bigger impact this time around, tackling family, politics, and spirituality in America.
Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure is Cameron’s latest effort. The film captures his personal journey through American and European history, visiting historical sites to capture what has made America the “freest, securest, prosperous, and healthy” nation in the world.
Plagued by the spiritual, political, and economic decline in America, Cameron takes this journey in hopes of starting the healing process from its roots – the American family.

“Now this is my project, but it’s about all of us, it’s about our kids and securing a monumental future for them,” he said in speaking about the film. “How do we teach them the truths that will set them free internally and externally for the world that they live in and secure their future?”
Telling the story of early Americans who sacrificed for liberty, Monumental shares stories of faith and how it helped to shape the fibers of America, including education, civic life, and government.
“I decided to travel across the U.S. and Europe to discover the true national treasure of America. I wanted to find out who the people were who built this country – the heroic men and women who sacrificed everything to be free and give their children and their grand children freedom and prosperity.”
From as early as Pilgrim settlers to current faith and political leaders, stories and perspectives of faith are intertwined throughout the movie.
Featured interviews include acclaimed Christian author Os Guinnes, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), Senate Chaplain Barry Black, Marshall Foster of the Mayflower Institute, and David Barton of WallBuilders.
Monumental will be released March 27th at 7:30 p.m. EDT and at 8 pm on the West Coast in approximately 500 movie theaters throughout the country as a live simulcast event arranged by NCM/Fathom Events.
The 130-minute program to be hosted by Cameron will also include supplementary materials for families, churches, and schools.
The program that will also include live music and the screening of the 90-minute film will continue with a limited theatrical release starting March 30th.
