Hoover Street Revival: Life, Death & God in South Central L.A. PG-13

Directed by Sophie Fiennes (sister of Ralph and Joseph), the documentary film HOOVER STREET REVIVAL presents the story of the Greater Bethany Community Church, a popular spiritual center in the heart of poverty and crime stricken South Central LA There, the Bishop Noel Jones delivers inspiring and creative sermons, while the Voices of Judah choir performs beautiful gospel songs. With an unintrusive, respectful camera, footage of Jones and the church's worship is contrasted with images that present the difficult life people of the community (many of whom are in Jones's congregation) have outside the warmth and joy of the church. HOOVER STREET REVIVAL illustrates how spirituality and religion still have power and provide strength for embattled communities in the United States.
