The Jesus Guy

He looks like Jesus Christ. And preaches like St. Francis of Assisi. Some say he's "a kook." Others, "a blessing from God." Barefoot, and clad in a white robe, he's walked through 47 states [and 13 countries] on a 12-year mission that's captured media attention from 20/20, Time and the Wall Street Journal. Yet who is this solitary figure who inspires faith -- and attracts controversy?

"The Jesus Guy" covers the mystical journey of America's "Barefoot Evangelist." In a nation that worships money, he's penniless. In a culture that idolizes celebrities, he's forsaken his identity. Now, on a spiritual quest even he doesn't fully understand, his faith -- and your own -- will be tested. Every step of the way. With the intimacy of single-camera filmmaking, Director Sean Tracey allows us to walk in "The Jesus Guy's" steps as he encounters both skeptics and believers, changing them...for better, for worse, forever.

Dear 1985satellite,

I guess you removed your own negative comment? (I don't think anyone from our office removed it.) In any case, glad you had a change of mind and a good experience with the subject of our film, The Jesus Guy.

Sean Tracey, producer/director

wtf,,, this guy is soo stupid,, Jesus di ot just go around saying es the son of God, he performed miracle to convince the people that he truly is,, this guy us walks around claiming to be Jesus, not God, lol,, i fuckin hate ppl like this who tarnish the great name of Jesus, and destroy the Christian faith in others

[SeanTraceyAssociates]

Thanks for your comment. If you get a chance to see the movie, he says he is not Jesus. I see your point though.

The guy is not claiming to be Jesus. Some of you are misunderstanding that. He is really just a follower of Jesus and gave up his entire life to spread the word of God and the love of God. You guys should be applauding this man! He is a servant of the Lord.

He doesn't claim to be Jesus

about 3 months ago i wouldn't have even watched this video, but I truly believe in Jesus. I am a Christian, and I always have been. I am 12 years old, and as insane as it sounds, I saw Jesus at a theme park. I was getting on a ride i was afraid of with my friends. a man go in line very close behind us, but none of us noticed him. i began to pray ( i was that scared) and the man began to talk to me. it wasn't anything special, but he looked like Jesus, and i immediately calmed. i know it was him

By the way, your documentary is smooth. I know tad bit about filmmaking, and the film is very well put together. Yah, "Jesus guy" is a good guy, the negative comment was posted due to my own issues/insecurities. Spending the days with him in the Old City of Jerusalem broadened my perspective. I sincerely apologize for being such a jerk, I am only 25yrs old, and I have a lot to learn about life.

I posted a negative comment about this man. Forgive me, for I have sinned. He is a beautiful person. He does not claim to be Jesus, just lives like him. He doesn't hurt nobody. I spent a lot of time with him, and learned a lot about life. I learned a lot about life with my "family" as well. I did this while in the holy land of Jerusalem. He cool. Oh, and he does not have "Jerusalem Syndrome", he is a human like you and me.

This guy use to live in Homewood Alabama, seen him in the streets many times actually talked to him and yes he does preach!! It's weird to see him make headline NEWS..

[paintingsbypenni]

I saw this mess on t.v. last night- Outrageous! This guy is the biggest douche- Please, put on some shoes! Everything he does is for perception- I hardly heard the guy preach- I give much more props to the Jehovah's Witnesses, who at least are humble and sincere and not blasphemous! How dare this guy dress like Jesus and walk around like he's special? Jesus is shaking his head at this douchebag....
