Brief Summary
Filmmaker Matthew Thayer is dragging the murky world of modern prophecy into the spotlight with his new documentary, 'Can You Hear Me Now?'. The project attempts to parse the divine claims surrounding Donald Trump’s presidency, specifically focusing on the 2007 viral prophecy by Kim Clement. Thayer isn't just looking at the politics; he's questioning the mechanics of faith and the fallout when a so-called prophet misses the mark.
