American Jesus

AMERICAN JESUS surveys Christianity in every corner of American life, from breadlines to yoga studios, from the humble snake-handling churches to the mega-churches of the exurbs. Christian cowboys, bikers, musicians, comedians, surfers, and cage-fighters—each pursuing devotion in Christ—populate this landscape. Aram Garriga travels from his native Barcelona to the politically divided United States to chronicle the evolving relationship among faith, materialism, politics, and personal passions within a distinctly American tableau. Linking a spectrum of religious and secular voices offering candid, often illuminating testimonials, AMERICAN JESUS stands as a vivid mosaic of personalities and clashing viewpoints, portraying an America yearning for solace and meaning in the modern world.
