Hillsong United featured in new documentary film

A FULL LENGTH documentary film, Hillsong: Let Hope Rise, has been acquired by Alcon Entertainment for worldwide release by Warner Bros Pictures. Directed by Michael John Warren (Jay-Z's "Fade To Black"), the film chronicles the spectacular rise to prominence of the Australia-based worship band Hillsong United and will be released on 3rd April 2015. The filmmakers will follow the band as it completes its current tour and prepares to record its next album. The film will marry live concert footage with a narrative structure. Said Hillsong United's Joel Houston, "It's a little weird and a lot humbling to have a movie made about us. But we didn't say 'yes' to this to draw attention to ourselves. It's our hope that by sharing an up-close and unvarnished look inside our music and lives, we can shatter pre-conceived notions of what it means to follow Jesus in today's modern world." CR
