"I rarely see anything so
thought-provoking. It
was
like hanging out with super-
smart people for an evening
and just listening to them
talk and soaking it up....
I found myself falling in
love with a lot of them....
It was as if the music allowed
them to be honest and transparent
in a way I don't generally see.
As a Christian, coming from
a very pro-church background,
I loved hearing what people
from a completely different
world thought. I was blown away....
Go see the movie. It's amazing."
