Featuring little-seen exposé footage, filmmaker Sandy K. Boone sheds light on the unusual goings-on of the Church of the SubGenius, recognized in the popular consciousness for its unusual take on theological teachings. Boone reveals the underground initiative that helped incite widespread attention on the church through art, music, and other forms of popular culture, raising questions on the nature of religion and the place of humor in serious subjects.
