Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher

Some friends of mine were very involved in the early days of the "Jesus Movement" in California during the 70's. Among their friends from that time period was Lonnie Frisbee. Frisbee was a gifted and charismatic young man who became central to the foundation and explosive growth of both Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard.

He was also gay.

A filmmaker named David Di Sabatino has just released a documentary entitled "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher". My friends were in contact with Mr. Di Sabatino throughout the process of making the film and they are extremely pleased with the way it turned out. I had a chance to see an early "rough cut" version of the film and the final cut which is now available on DVD.

This film is challenging, thought-provoking and touching. I highly recommend it.
