CGiii Comment
In this feature documentary, anti-gay religious groups meet 'the gay Jesus play.' The film follows the troupe, playwright, and audiences across the U.S. and around the world on a 8-year journey of Terrence McNally's passion play, where voices of protest and support collide on one of the central issues facing the LGBT community - religion based bias. Challenging issues of civil rights, marriage equality and separation of church and state, this production has become a remarkable vehicle of positive change for a community struggling to find its voice. Meanwhile, the company of actors finds itself on a journey that would forever change their lives.
