'Til Kingdom Come is a documentary film directed by Maya Zinshtein which uncovers a surprising alliance between Jews and evangelical Christians in the United States and Israel. The film follows Yael Eckstein, the president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a group that raises funds and creates coalitions between Jews and evangelical Christians in the United States.
Zinshtein's investigation takes her from rural Kentucky to Washington D.C. and Israel as she speaks with religious leaders and congregations to understand the motivations behind this unlikely alliance. The film's narrative focuses on the concept of apocalyptic prophecy and the role it plays in driving the alliance between Jews and evangelical Christians.
The documentary also highlights the impact of the Trump administration on this alliance, specifically in terms of policy decisions that benefit Israel and evangelical Christianity. Zinshtein's film raises important questions about political and religious motivations behind international alliances and sheds light on the startling hypocrisy at its core.

The movie has received praise for its ability to provide a fair and unbiased portrayal of the complex religious and political factors driving the relationship between Jews and evangelical Christians.
