The Jesus Music: New Documentary Heading To Theaters Will Look At The History Of Contemporary Christian Music

A new documentary film being released through Lionsgate will examine the birth of Contemporary Christian Music or CCM. From its beginnings in the 1960s to the genre it is today. Pioneering icons and top artists of today will be on hand to share their experiences in helping to bring about a groundbreaking music industry.

“The richness of hope that can land on someone’s spirit via rhyme and melody and sound, I don’t understand it,” Lauren Daigle says in the documentary trailer.

Directed by the Erwin Brothers (I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe, American Underdog), the film also features interviews with the likes of Glen Kaiser, Greg Laurie, John Thompson, For King & Country, Bill Reeves, Chris Tomlin, Bill Gaither, among others.
