JESUS REVOLUTION

FRI 24 FEB // CINEMA

Young Greg Laurie is searching for all the right things in all the wrong places: until he meets Lonnie Frisbeea; charismatic hippie-street-preacher. Together with Pastor Chuck Smith, they open the doors of a languishing church to an unexpected revival of radical and newfound love, leading to what TIME Magazine dubbed a ‘Jesus Revolution’.

Written by Jon Ewin and Jon Gunn, and directed by Erwin and Brent McCorkle, this compelling drama brings together Joel Courtne (Super 8, The Kissing Booth), Jonathan Roumie (The Chosen), Anna Grace Barlow (Supernatural, The Goldbergs) and Kelsey Grammar to chart the fascinating story of the Evangalical movement in 70s California – which changed American society forever.

Cocaine Bear is loosely based on an actual bear that died after ingesting copious amounts of cocaine which was dumped from an airplane drug smuggling route. No rampage or attacks by the bear, but this did actually happen.
