Jesus Town, USA: Where Christ Dies and Rises Once a Year

This film visits a small Oklahoma town that has staged a Passion play for eighty-eight years on a curious replica of Jerusalem built into the Wichita hills. It follows the townsfolk who pantomime the death and resurrection of Christ once a year. Through their devotion and quirks it offers a warm, offbeat portrait of American faith. It is an intriguing watch on religion, community and the theatre of belief. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
