In the vibrant and defiant heart of San Francisco's counterculture, director Jennifer M. Kroot crafts a joyous and provocative documentary exploring the legendary Hunky Jesus Contest. This film delves into the decades-old Easter Sunday tradition hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, where contestants compete for the title by reimagining Christ with humor, muscle, and radical self-expression. Featuring the irreverent wit and heartfelt perspectives of Sisters like Sister Roma, Sister Dana Van Equity, and Sister Vish Knew, alongside commentator George Takei, the story celebrates a unique fusion of drag, activism, and community. "Hunky Jesus" captures the glitter, the gospel, and the ongoing struggle for acceptance, presenting a colorful battle of faith, identity, and fabulousness where salvation comes with a side of sequins.
