Jesus Revolution: Real "A list"

Great trip to the movies 2/2023. Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roomie provide the foundation for this very well done film on the Jesus movement. It shows that Christians are not perfect and that life is rough, but that there is an answer to the questions of life.

There is a balance of character development when Greg and Cathe become prominent in the telling of the early days of the "Jesus Revolution".

It is beautifullybfilmed and the soundtrack had some iconic 60s songs that supported the themes being developed -- desperation and the search for truth even when life gets messy.

There is so much in this film that those who seek truth will find it.
