No matter how you feel about it's topic, this is a vitally important documentary. I could relate to it, because 30 years ago, I directed Christopher Durang's Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All to You at a community theater housed in a park. The Catholic League came down on us, many people walked out (but didn't ask for their money back) and eventually the show was brought to the City Council. At the time Jesse Ventura was the Mayor and he was on our side. He concluded the topic by reading the First Amendment "for the record."
I saw this play about 15 years ago and thought it was quite good. I rather like McNally's work and while this is a minor work, it's still a marvelous theater piece.
I think this documentary is important because of what it reperesents: First Amendment Rights being challenged by the Christian Right. This is the kind of crap that Trump's minions are against. No one has the right to tell you what you can and cannot do ultimately. When Godard's Hail Mary came out, the print was stolen from the theater that showed it here and the Pope condemned it. Clearly he didn't see it, because it's a tedious bore. I fell asleep at the screening. When The Last Temptation of Christ came out, there were picket lines. No one bothered to interpret the title correctly. The movie, which depicts Jesus married and the father of children, is an hallucination, aka a temptation. It's from the Gnostic Gospels and has nothing to do with the Jesus we all know about.
Wake up, people! This is the 21st Century. People are entitled to new interpretations!! Grow up!
