jm10701 Others have described this unusual movie better than I can. I'll just add that the extras video on the DVD is essential. It's almost as long as the very short movie itself is. It actually contains a lot more information than the movie does because it leaves out the obscure, annoying and completely irrelevant songs that pepper the movie and eat up at least a third of its under-one-hour run time. The only sad thing about the extras video is that it adds an ugly, bitter, deluded side to his otherwise interesting and sympathetic wife Connie (I love her for being outraged at Chuck Smith's egregious smugness at Lonnie's funeral).I'll also add that I am myself a gay Christian (very emphatically and uncompromisingly both), a year older than Lonnie Frisbee. My life too has been entirely transformed by Jesus (who loves gay men, by the way) and informed and infused by the marvelous Holy Spirit, and I too passed through Calvary Chapel along the way. For some reason I survived the experience that fatally wounded him, but then I was never on the front lines in the same way he was, as Jesus was, and as surprisingly few others have been.I had never heard of Lonnie Frisbee (Smith and his disciples have very successfully purged him from their history), so I'm grateful to this movie for introducing us. I love and admire and thank Lonnie for all he did, and I'm eager to meet him face to face before too much longer. He's better off now than any of us are.

dflanakin It is amazing that I had not heard of Lonnie Frisbee - given that I worked for a national prayer ministry during the 1970's and 1980's and had close contacts with many significant church leaders during those times. And yet as I watched his story unfold, I was struck that hindsight makes us judgmental, but how would we have responded to the "news" at the time? And yet, even today, the church is disturbed by this movie, which begs several questions that many absolutely, positively do not want to address. Church leaders have stolen money, had scandalous affairs, and surely have failed to live up to God's moral standards (gossip, favoritism, etc.) in myriad ways, and yet there is but one "sin" that, for many, is too big to be covered by God's boundless love. Jesus even hung out with lepers - but some still see one human condition as a thousand times more horrible than leprosy. I must confess I was once in that category - and so I welcome this fine film as an eye-opener for those who have failed to look with Jesus' eyes at others created in His image.

David Hampton Stunning and revealing! The struggle between the flesh and the spirit has been and will continue to be a powerful motif in film, art, and humanity. Johnny Cash, Martin Scorsese, the list goes on... And now Lonnie Frisbee. Literally erased from Christian revivalist history because he struggled with homosexuality. His story is truly powerful, and quite an inspiration to the mild and weak movement that Christianity has become in comparison to the movement Frisbee started among the counterculture of the 60s. Watch this film, whether you're a Christian or not...it speaks on all levels.

jeff jefford This movie challenged my preconceived ideas about the man GOD uses. A comparison can be made with the likes of John the Baptist and his fire for GOD to preach the gospel message & the lure of sin and the depths it can take you similar to the life of Samson. I would recommend anyone to see this film. Lonnie's influence affected the Christian world as we know it. Great 70's Christian Rock artists featuring the talents of Larry Norman , Randy Stonehill, Mark Heard, Agape & more! If you have not heard of these artists, you will enjoy discovering the talents of these hidden gems as it compliments the era of the film based in the 70's Jesus Movement. A must see!
