A Film of Their 1973 Spring Tour Commissioned by Christian World Liberation Front of Berkeley, California

About This Movie

So, this film captures a unique moment in the 1973 Spring Tour of the Christian World Liberation Front, which is kind of a fascinating slice of time. The whole thing is shot in that raw, handheld style that gives it this gritty, almost immediate feel, it feels like you’re right there in the audience. The filmmaker uses a stroboscopic technique to edit scenes together, creating this frenetic, almost disjointed rhythm that pulls you in and keeps you on your toes. The discussions range from radical theology to social justice, and it’s interesting how that volatile mix of ideas is presented. It’s definitely not your standard documentary; it’s more like a provocative collage that invites reflection rather than just passive viewing.

This film is quite a collector's item due to its limited release and the obscurity of its production. It has only circulated in niche documentary circles, making original copies scarce. Collectors often appreciate the film not just for its content but for its unique stylistic choices and the historical context it provides, reflecting a radical Christian movement's engagement with youth culture in the 70s.
