"JESUS WAS A COMMIE elegantly breaks several cultural taboos and blurs the lines of narrative and documentary storytelling. It is both visually beautiful and eminently rational. Not a bad way to start a conversation..." – Sam Harris, neuroscientist and bestselling author of "The Moral Landscape", "Letter to a Christian Nation", and "The End of Faith"
