Rebecca Holden and Richard Rossi in Canaan Land (2020)

'Canaan Land" is a love story between a charismatic con man preacher, Brother Billy Gantry, who falls in love with Sister Sara Sunday, a sincere Christian. She seeks to redeem Brother Billy, who manipulates the flock with fake miracles, including a stunt with gold dust and feathers he claims are from angels. The film is an unapologetic look at modern religion and televangelism based on the director's personal experiences as a former faith healing evangelist.

Wissenswertes
Pope Francis praised filmmaker Richard Rossi for taking a stand against fraudulent evangelists. "Richard Rossi is standing for good and against evil," Pope Francis said. "He is a voice for the poor who have been taken advantage of by those misrepresenting Christ in a culture of greed. He contrasts the love of God with those who teach blessings are bought with donations, which is idolatry."

Zitate
Sister Sara Sunday: I let you into the sacredness of Bethany Temple. And I let you into this temple. Fourteen years of purity I gave to you. You're not the first man to fake faith just to try to get to me. You're just the first one good enough at it to make me compromise.

A must watch

I finally got to see this controversial film! It was seriously well done, great acting and directing by Richard Rossi who just made everything seem so real. I guess you can say it's made on an indie budget but it works in their favor - seems like your almost watching a documentary unfold. I also read some articles that they are up for the Oscars so hoping for the best and I can see why Televangelists are trying to ban this film. Keep the films coming.
