In Los Angeles, Bishop Noel Jones is a vital force. A one man Jesus army, Jones has earned himself a cult reputation for his entertaining and impassioned sermonising - like a cross between James Brown and Bill Cosby - at the Greater Bethany Community Church. Using Jones as her starting point, Fiennes takes us on an intimate, though scattershot, tour of downtown LA as she interviews everyone from Jones' assistants to homeless bag ladies on the street. Refusing to add any voiceover narration, or speak to Jones directly (he's only once seen off-stage), Fiennes abdicates her authorial position, juxtaposing the rampant crime of the ghetto with Jones' religious fervour, and leaving us to draw our own conclusions. Paradoxically, this may seem like the film's biggest weakness, but it's also its greatest strength. (BBCi Films)
