- Synopsis
- In the United States, Christianity takes the most diverse shapes, leading to a multifaceted vision of faith that has even gone on to become a part of pop culture. American Jesus takes a journey through North America to meet different characters: pastors of the Apocalypse, defenders of creationism, Christian bikers... A mosaic that clears up the social and economic questions surrounding religious zeal.
AMERICAN JESUS is an exploration of Christianity in every faction of American Life, from the breadline to the yoga studio, from the humble churches of snake handlers to the mega churches in the ex-urbs. Christian cowboys, bikers and musicians, comedians, surfers and cage-fighters, they are all doing it for Christ. Aram Garriga travels from his native Barcelona to the politically divided United States to chronicle the sometimes bizarre relationship between faith, materialism, politics and personal passions in this uniquely American tableaux.
Populated by an array of religious and secular characters offering candid, often illuminating testimonials, AMERICAN JESUS is a vivid mosaic of personalities and conflicting points of view that emerges as a portrait of an America yearning for solace and meaning in the modern world. Award-Winning director Aram Garriga (Introspective) joins the maverick production outfit Glass Eye Pix, whose diverse titles include BIRTH OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE GODS OF TIMES SQUARE, THE COMEDY, WENDY AND LUCY and THE LAST WINTER, to explore a topic that offers essential insight into the state of America today.
