Created between 1982 and 1984 using television archives, the film is primarily made up of photographic and audiovisual montage and contains original music by Glenn Branca (Theme for a Drive Through Suburbia) and Sonic Youth (Shaking Hell and Brother James). It begins by concentrating on religious revivals and demonstrates interesting ties between religion and rock music beginning with Shakers ecstatic trance dancing.
