Bad Theology

About This Movie

Bad Theology is a unique blend of music and poetry, presenting a raw and intimate look at faith intertwined with the harsh realities of surviving intimate partner violence. The film navigates the complexities of identity through the experience of a Black transgender individual, creating an atmosphere that’s both contemplative and urgent. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with the heavy themes while the choreography adds a kinetic element that enhances the storytelling. Performances are deeply personal, almost like a cathartic release for the artist. It's distinct in how it marries these elements together, giving voice to underrepresented narratives in a compelling way. The whole piece feels like a ritual more than just a film, which is quite striking.
