Jesus Revolution follows the true story of the 1960-70s Jesus movement in Southern California. Young Greg Laurie, pastor Chuck Smith, and hippie evangelist Lonnie Frisbee go through all as they navigate spiritual awakening during one of the most significant cultural upheavals this country has ever seen. This film captures the blending of Christianity with the counterculture of the times, shaking such traditional norms that it impacted the American mainstream of Christianity. It also explores the themes of faith, redemption, and all the searching for meaning.
