Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus

Andrew Douglas, USA 2003

Courtesy of the BBC, we hit the road with American singer/ songwriter Jim White at the wheel of a beat-up Chevy, and embark on a meandering odyssey into the deep south of the USA. We witness devilshly-haunting, lo-fi musical performances from The Handsome Family, David Johansen, Johnny Dowd, Cat Power and more. From beer-bars to trailer parks, God-bothering pentecostals mix with backsliding sinners to tell tall-tales of murder and redemption. It's subject mater that will thrill lovers of backwoods music and intrigue the uninitiated.
