On the surface, Fight Church is a look at the juxtaposition of regulated violence and the harmony of a pious life. But to me, it's a look at how a human reacts when they realize their god has chosen someone else to be a better man then they are in a physical competition. We've seen it so many times before; athletes having the power of Jesus Christ flow through them, they've even confirmed it in so many post-fight speeches: the son of God helped them defeat their opponent and they thank him. Now we see what happens when, in theory, the most powerful performance enhancer known to mankind meets itself head-on in fist-a-cuffs. Are faiths destroyed in this documentary by Oscar winning filmmaker Daniel Junge?

One thing's for certain, people are going to get hurt, but no one is getting the hell beaten out of them. Take a look at the Kickstarter trailer below.

Every filmmaker has an agenda..all I see is is human beings trying to reconcile their ultimate views of the ground of all being with nature. Any pro or negative comments are superfluous.

so many americans are crazy! apart from throwing reason out the window and disregarding science, teaching their children creationism at school, believing god will look to help one fighter over another, they think that christianity and fighting are compatible (the old testament actually would). poor poor people.

You almost had me, Russel, until I saw that it was you.
You can't satirize creationism - it's already there!

these dumb ass americans....es sentially by following their beliefs in terms of locus of control they are all 'externals' and as such they believe that the outcome of the fight is out of their hands and chosen by Jesus and thus predetermined, nothing pisses me off more than someone who believes what they have done or rather what they have failed to do, was a result of some divine being's power
