CGiii Comment
A fucked up, acid-popping hippy...who discovered Jesus.
The documentary is filled with religious nuts and hypocrites - which makes for some turgid viewing.
An incredible amount of nonsense is spoken - hallucinations become visions from God - and, in the name of commerce - all is believed.
Frisbee admitted the error of his ways and maintained that homosexuality was a sin - even though he got caught on more than one occasion with a willy stuck up his bum - truly, a f&*ked-up, conceited phoney - undeserving of a documentary.
He died of AIDS in 1993 - those who have remembered him in this film are simply backstabbing fraudsters.
You will feel nothing but revulsion.
An undeserving subject.

Lonnie Frisbee was a young hippie seeker fully immersed in the 1960s counter culture when he claimed to have experienced an encounter with God while on an acid trip. This event so transformed him that Lonnie became an itinerant Christian evangelist, something of a John the Baptist of Southern California who compelled thousands of fellow spiritual seekers to make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. During the 1970s Lonnie Frisbee became widely known as California's "hippie preacher," the quintessential "Jesus freak" whose pictures frequented such magazines as Time and Life as the media told the story of a burgeoning "Jesus movement." Lonnie Frisbee provided the charismatic spark that launched the Calvary Chapel church into a worldwide ministry and propelled many fledgling leaders into some of the most powerful movers and shakers of the evangelical movement.
