A TRUE DEPICTION OF PASTOR CHUCK SMITH'S LIFE STORY, CALVARY CHAPEL AND THE MOVEMENT BY MANY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BIGGEST SPIRITUAL REVIVALS IN AMERICAN HISTORY: "THE JESUS MOVEMENT". FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH CHUCK SMITH, FRANKLIN GRAHAM, GREG LAURIE, ETC... THE JESUS MOVEMENT ALSO OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE JESUS REVOLUTION STARTED IN AMERICA BUT ENDED UP BEING A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT AND IS STILL HAS AN INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE TODAY.
In a rare in-depth interview, Pastor Chuck Smith, 'the Father of the Jesus Movement,' takes us on a journey of his life and tells us in his own words how Calvary Chapel grew from 25 people to a worldwide movement. He and his wife opened their hearts and welcomed members of the hippie counterculture into their church and the rest is history. The result was the conversion of thousands of young people and the beginning of widespread changes in the church. Those changes had a huge impact on modern-day Christianity as we know it today. His ministry has since influenced and continues to influence millions of people all over the world.
The 105-minute documentary includes archival footage of that era as well as interviews with 'Jesus Music' bands like members of one of the first Christian rock bands 'Love Song.' Many of the 'Jesus Freaks' became pastors of some of the largest churches in America, including Greg Laurie, Raul Ries, Jeff Johnson, Steve Mays, Joe Focht, Mike MacIntosh, Skip Heitzig, and others who talk about their experiences in the 'Movement.' We also hear from members of Chuck Smith's family.
