"Laugh-out-loud funny, but also the one cinematic civics lesson you need to see this year." - Movie Nation. Chronicling the rise of one of the most colorful, controversial, (and cheeky) religious movements in U.S. history, 'Hail Satan?' is an entertaining new documentary from acclaimed director Penny Lane ("one of our foremost chroniclers of bizarro Americana" - NPR ). When media-savvy members of the "Satanic Temple" organize a series of public actions designed to advocate for womens' rights, LGBTQ rights, and separation of church and state, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humor, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways. As charming and funny as it is thought-provoking, 'Hail Satan?' offers a timely look at a group of often misunderstood outsiders whose unwavering commitment to social justice has empowered thousands of people around the world.
