Cast off the shame and enter a higher state of camp—where blasphemy is a virtue and joy is divine. Hunky Jesus is a rollicking, riotous, and heartfelt ode to the legendary Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Founded in 1979 to counter the rise of homophobic evangelical preachers in San Francisco, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence remain a unique, vital social justice movement. Director Jennifer M. Kroot (To Be Takei) crafts a vibrant chronicle that weaves between the 2023 annual festival in Dolores Park, featuring a variety of blasphemous cabaret for a cause and rich archival history.

Anchored by intimate interviews with long-serving icons like Sister Roma, founding member Grand Mother Vish-Knew, and RuPaul alumni Saint Honey Mahogany, the film honours decades of compassion, artistry, and fierce political resistance. Kneel for these glorious, sexy freedom fighters who resurrect our faith in community, joy, and each other.
