He looks like
Jesus Christ. And preaches like St. Francis of
Assisi. Some say he’s “a kook.” Others, “a blessing from
God.” Barefoot, and clad in a white robe, he’s walked
through 47 states [and 13 countries] on a 16-year mission that’s
captured media attention from 20/20, Time and the Wall Street Journal.
Yet who is this solitary figure who inspires faith – and attracts
controversy?
The Jesus Guy covers the mystical journey
of America’s “Barefoot Evangelist.” In a nation that worships money,
he’s penniless. In a culture that idolizes celebrities, he’s forsaken
his identity. Now, on a spiritual quest even he doesn’t fully
understand, his faith – and your own – will be tested every step of the
way. With the intimacy of single-camera filmmaking, Director Sean
Tracey allows us to walk in “The Jesus Guy’s” steps as he encounters
both skeptics and believers, changing them…for better, for worse,
forever.
  
"Once
you've seen The Jesus Guy in this film, he'll stay in your mind
forever. Unforgettable. Absolutely unforgettable."
