Why do most Hollywood films (for adults) insist on profaning God's name? Kevin Swanson speaks with Phillip Telfer from Media Talk 101 on the history of Christian film and the need for a “parallel” path of Christian film to present a Biblical worldview in film.

the HAYES CODE wasn't that bad..because until 1966, taking GODS NAME IN VAIN was OFF LIMITS
