Riptide
The Jesus Movement in the '60s and '70s was a miraculous move of God to reach out to the lost youth of America, who had tried everything the world offered them and were still unfulfilled. The new feature-length documentary film Riptide tells the story of this supernatural work of God, using the testimonies of people at the center of the Jesus Movement. Riptide chronicles a time when God touched a generation that had become bogged down in selfishness and sin, and thereby reached out to a nation and the world.
