- Synopsis:
Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus is a captivating and compelling road trip through contemporary Southern America, a marginalised world of unique and intense homemade culture. Singer Jim White takes his muscle car through a gritty terrain of churches, prisons, truck stops, biker bars and coal mines, where everybody has a story in some form, almost invariably of sudden death, sin or redemption - yet all transformed by the characteristic grim humour and natural eloquence of the Southern imagination. Along the way are roadside encounters with present-day musical mavericks including the Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, David Eugene Edwards and David Johansen; old time banjo player Lee Sexton; Rockabilly and mountain Gospel churches - and novelist Harry Crews telling grisly stories down a dirt track. And all the while, a strange Southern Jesus looms in the background. - Actors:
