Start
The documentary started at Lawrence Burroughs high school,
at the senior exhibition. Students need to do a project to
graduate from high school. As Lawrence says about his
project: "So, with my love for film, and christian rap, and
christian metal, I decided to make a documentary to open the
minds of close minded christians, so that the seperations in
the body of Christ, musically especially, could be broken.
And so we can further become one: A family under God. Hence
the name, We Are One. What began, as just a project, turned
into a serious effort, to create and complete my first
film."
Contents
The documentary talks about the untold sides of christian
rappers, and christian metal bands. And basically the
purpose of the video is to make christians more open minded
about what the definition of christian music is.
Release
The release date is the 24th of February, 2008. The film
will not be for sale, due to legal agreements with some of
the artists and bands in the video. For now, it's a
non-profit local and internet based documentary.
Storyline
The film begins with the hip hop side. Basically giving a
background on the origins of christian rap. Then various
issues and contraversy brought up in the church is featured.
As the filmmaker states: "It overall, presents a strong
stance opposing the opposition of christian hip hop, and
proving people wrong that think christian hip hop is
demonic."
Then it transitions to the christian metal genre. And
basically follows the same format as the hip hop section. It
also explores the secular side of metal, conceding to an
extent, but flipping the script, to further prove, that
christian metal is just another type of worship towards
God.
