Knocking opens the door on Jehovah's Witnesses. They have won a record number of U.S. Supreme Court cases expanding freedoms for all Americans. In Nazi Germany, they chose the concentration camps over fighting for Hitler. They refuse blood transfusions on religious grounds and embrace the science of bloodless surgery. Jehovah's Witnesses are moral conservatives who stay out of politics and the Culture War.
Knocking follows two families who stand firm for their controversial and misunderstood Christian faith. Their stories reveal how one unlikely religion helped to shape history beyond the doorstep.
