Holy Ghost People
- 1968 ----- b & w ----- 52 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- Reports on the religious fervor of a Caucasian Pentacostal Congregation whose fundamentalist philosophy encourages a literal interpretation of the Bible. A specific passage from Mark: "In My Name they shall speak in new tongues. They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them," is indeed practiced when members "speak in tongues," caress rattlesnakes and hurl them about the room. A discreet objectivity is the vantage of the film's producer as he views the proceedings.
- Topics: (Anthropology, Psychology: Social, Religions: Christian)
