About the film:

Bless us, Sisters, for we are in need of joy — and perhaps a loincloth or two! Thank hunky Jesus, this documentary blends the activism, radical resistance, and hilarity of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from their beginnings to the present day. Weaving between Hunky Jesus 2023, interviews with some of the most storied Sisters and friends (including Sisters Roma and Vish Knew, and Saint Honey Mahogany), and archival footage from the earliest days of the Sisters’ emergence into prominence and extravagance, director Jennifer M. Kroot (To Be Takei, Frameline38; The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin, Frameline41) has created a rollicking and heartfelt ode to our Sisters.

With all the glitz, heart, dish, and community connection you’d expect, Hunky Jesusgives rise again and again to the laughter, artistry, compassion, and fire that fuels the Sisters’ impact on the community beyond any single day in Dolores Park, and honors the decades of service and resistance that helps resurrect our faith in each other, as only the Sisters can do. And may the church say, “Amen!”
