Deer Hunting with Jesus
by David Fellerath
based on the best–seller by Joe Bageant
Directed by Katja Hill

Can you ever go home again? After 30 years away, Joe Bageant did just that, returning to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. There he found the working poor struggling to survive America's economic class war. Based on the book that Mother Jones Magazine called "dead serious and damn funny", this original adaptation features guns, God, and a native son's love of his roots... accompanied by karaoke.

Featuring: John Allore, David Berberian, Jeffrey Detwiler, J Evarts, Rus Hames, Dana Marks, Tom Marriott, Carl Martin, Michael O'Foghludha, Emily Ranii, and Dierdre Shipman
