Good at telling part of the story...

Consider the source. If you are looking for a documentary that looks with thoughtful introspection at the "Jesus" music movement - this is not the one. An early indicator would be the mention of Lonnie Frisbee as the original thought leader and flash point for the inclusion of contemporary music into christian services. The film never speaks about how he was ostracized for being gay .. and yet, it does examine (all be it briefly) the challenges the industry had with racism. But.. if you, like myself, "grew up" with this music it is a nice trip down memory lane and will spark many "whatever happened to" thoughts. Minor license is taken with chronology. Keith Green's impact and death are given cursory note and out of the correct chronological sequence. This is a show that "preaches to the choir" and having been someone who was at one time very much in the choir.. I enjoyed it.
