The Kingdom

About This Movie

The Kingdom (2023) dives into the murky waters of the Hillsong megachurch, blending raw documentary style with a personal exploration. Marc Fennell returns to the roots of his Pentecostal upbringing, which adds this layer of intimacy and conflict. The pacing feels reflective, allowing moments of tension to simmer, especially as he unpacks the church's scandals. It’s not just about the fall of a church; it’s about faith, community, and the disillusionment that comes when the pillars of belief start to crumble. The interviews are candid, and there's a real sense of the atmosphere—the highs of worship intertwined with the lows of scandal. It’s a distinct look at a world many are curious about yet few have the courage to confront.
