Messiah

Messiah presents Handel’s oratorio in its entirety, delivering a powerful narrative that encompasses Christ’s nativity, passion, and resurrection. The film contrasts this sacred music with visuals of various absurdities and human abuses around the globe, creating a thought-provoking experience.

The documentary features an eclectic mix of performers, including the Bodybuilders of Christ and the Lavender Light Gay and Lesbian Interracial Choir, alongside more traditional groups like the Dallas police choir. This diverse representation of worshippers highlights the multifaceted nature of faith and community.

Collectors of music documentaries and concert films will find Messiah a compelling addition to their libraries. Its unique approach to a classic piece of music sets it apart from conventional documentary formats, making it a noteworthy exploration of both art and social commentary.
