Come Sunday

A Film by Christian Lee

Produced by Ameerah Abdul-Rahman, Iris Fu, and Christian Lee

Filmed on Location at First AME Church in West Adams, Los Angeles

Members of the First AME Church, the oldest African American church in Los Angeles, gather to worship in a time of national unrest. Meditating on the lyrical legacy of Black Christian tradition in the neighborhood of West Adams, Come Sunday lingers on the tender moments that begin to define poetic resistance. The short documentary identifies with the vérité camera, the spiritual stillness, and the resting beauty of liberated documentary filmmaking.

Currently in production. A work in progress (WIP) is attached above for viewing and discussion.
