Arena - Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus

Logo for Arena - Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus

Stunningly-photographed, thought-provoking road trip into the heart of the poor white American South, as singer Jim White takes his 1970 Chevy Impala through a gritty terrain of churches, prisons, truckstops, biker bars and coalmines. Along the way are roadside encounters wtih present-day musical mavericks the Handsome Family, David Johansen, David Eugene of 16 Horsepower and old-time banjo player Lee Sexton, and grisly stories from the cult Southern novelist Harry Crews.
