"American Jesus" is an exploration of Christianity in every faction of American Life, from the bread line to the yoga studio, from the humble churches of snake handlers to the mega churches of the ex-urbs. Christian cowboys, bikers and musicians, comedians, surfers and cage-fighters, they are all doing it for Christ. Aram Garriga travels from his native Barcelona to the politically divided United States to chronicle the sometimes bizarre relationship between faith, materialism, politics and personal passions in this uniquely American tableaux. Populated by an array of religious and secular characters offering candid, often illuminating testimonials, American Jesus is a vivid mosaic of personalities and conflicting points of view that emerges as a portrait of an America yearning for solace and meaning in the modern world.

| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh...if [Garriga's] portrait of American Christianity is not representative, it certainly is interesting, taking Americans as well as foreigners to many places they have probably not been before. |
| User ReviewScottt FA quick tour to the extremes of Christian belief in America, nicely handled. |
| User ReviewJustin SThe focus on the fringe iterations and too much of Frank Schaeffer make this pretty unbalanced. The wise, level-headed figures and genuine dialogue get lost amidst the Vegas stripper ministry 'Treasures', etc. |
| User ReviewJoshua FA bit too superficial, but an interesting introduction to all the wackos (and some of the reasonably level-headed folks) behind Christianity in the USA these days |
