The Jesus Revolution is a film about the Jesus People
movement in the late 60s and early 70s, a movement I personally lived
through. It is centered around three
people: Chuck Smith, is a middle-aged
pastor in a typical middle class church and stable denomination. His sermons are scripted, uninspiring, and
boring. But into his life comes Lonnie
Frisbee, a hippie, flower-child, and as counter-cultural as you can get. Frisbee sits in Smith’s church. A couple of things happen. Smith begins to be burdened for the flower
children and Frisbee annoys the staid traditional church members.
