20. Jesus Revolution (2023)
Director: Jon Erwin, Brent McCorkle
The actual account of a Christian revival that was conducted by hippies in southern California in the late 1960s. Greg Laurie, Chuck Smith, and Lonnie Frisbee, all leaders and pastors in this movement where thousands of people in California began following Jesus, which led to thousands more around the country in succeeding years, have their intertwining narratives followed in this story.
These three actors are very distinct from one another. Joel Courtney, a relative newcomer whose most notable prior performance was as a young actor in Super 8, plays Greg Laurie. Kelsey Grammer, a well-known actor in Hollywood and on television, plays Chuck Smith. Jonathan Roumie, who plays Lonnie Frisbee, will be recognizable to viewers of Christian media for his portrayal of Jesus in The Chosen. The many paths taken by these actors and, ultimately, their characters are what make this story’s rebirth possible.
