The following is a short video from Pat Robertson's CBN on Calvinism (borrowed ever so humbly from another blog I follow regularly). It is a rather well-done 7 minute piece referencing Calvin's impact on American civil government as well as Western theology.
The PCA and its Reformed University Fellowship actually get some pretty good face-time. The piece references Tim Keller and Redeemer PCA in Manhattan as well as some comments by PCA teaching elder Greg Thompson, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, VA (and one of the leading "young guns" in the denomination). Thompson actually makes a great point regarding Calvin and Reformed Theology and the impact that it is having in the lives of younger generations in regard to issues of mercy and social justice. The piece also makes reference to the rapidly expanding influence of Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church in Seattle.
Overall it is a pretty good video. It is interesting however to hear Robertson at the end offer his "disclaimer" regarding election and predestination. I guess he felt he just had to include that.
