Williams’s 1923 film The Flames of Wrath had a team of all people of color, and beyond that, the former Kansas City teacher was an activist and writer […]

JESUS REVOLUTION (2023) – My rating: 8/10
March 28, 2023
Jesus Revolution is a Christian drama directed by Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle. Based on the book of the same name, the film follows a youth minister as he takes part in the Jesus movement in California during the late 1960s.
