C.L. Bryant and “Runaway Slave” #SplittinTheAtom – May 29, 2025

In this episode of #SplittinTheAtom, Jen Brien dives into the controversial, thought-provoking, and politically charged documentary Runaway Slave, created by Baptist minister and conservative commentator C.L. Bryant. The film aims to free the black community from the slavery of tyranny and progressive policies. Jen unpacks Bryant’s journey—from pulpit to political podium—and what drove him to make a film that many hail as courageous!

In a conversation that’s part film critique, part cultural analysis, Jen doesn’t shy away from the tough questions. What does freedom really mean in modern America? Who gets to define oppression? And where does the black conservative voice fit into the broader national conversation?

Whether you agree or disagree with Bryant’s take, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s at stake when personal conviction, race, and politics collide.
