The Reverend
Winner of the DOC NYC Audience Award, Director Nick Canfield's first film follows gospel-rock icon and activist Reverend Vince Anderson. After entering seminary, Vince dropped out to follow his second calling - music. With his band The Love Choir, he has played a now-legendary weekly show for over twenty years. Reconnecting with his faith and using his intense soulful music, he began to preach a type of spirituality that is open to all, meets people where they are, and moves everyone that sees him play. Reverend Vince is also deeply involved in social justice, working with other faith leaders around the country to build inclusive communities. Featuring Questlove and a cornucopia of eccentric musicians, The Reverend is a rocking concert film as well as an intimate portrait of Reverend Vince's inspiring personal and spiritual life.
