Tonight is the premiere of the highly-anticipated movie “Jesus Revolution,” a film that tells the story of the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 70s. The film chronicles the rise of the movement, which was fueled by young people seeking a deeper connection to God and a new way of living in the midst of cultural revolution and war.
Directed by Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle and released by Lionsgate, “Jesus Revolution” stars actors Jonathan Roumie (The Chosen), Kelsey Grammer (Cheers, Frasier) as Chuck Smith, Joel Courtney (Super 8, The River Thief) as Greg Laurie, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Father of the Bride, Nashville, The Christmas Shoes).

Fans of the film have been eagerly anticipating its release, with many taking to social media to express their excitement. “I can’t wait to see this movie tonight,” wrote one Twitter user. “The Jesus Movement changed my life, and I know this film is going to be amazing.”
