Young Jean Lee transforms her life-long struggle with Christianity into an exuberant church service. This is a church of celebration, designed to test the expectations of religious and non-religious alike. Church is an uplifting, joyous and inspirational event that may be Lee’s most miraculous—or devious— experiment to date.
