Electric Jesus

This screening can only be accessed by viewers in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The film will be accessible for 24 hours after the scheduled start time.

An Alabama preacher's daughter runs off with a touring Christian hair metal band during the summer of 1986. Electric Jesus is a wistful coming-of-age music-comedy reminiscent of The Commitments, That Thing You Do, and Sing Street — a rock-and-roll movie about a band that never "goes all the way."

Georgia premiere
