The three films included in the screenings range from 16 to 48 minutes in length. These include 鈥淗atchie River,鈥� which focuses on the cycle of seasons along the west Tennessee River, and 鈥淭ent Revival,鈥� which follows the members of First Baptist Church of Sharon, Tenn., from praying for revival to the actual tent service. 鈥淭ent Revival鈥� features music composed by Tommy Harden and Brian Sutton, formerly with Ricky Skaggs.
The third film featured, 鈥淩oad Work,鈥� is the longest and follows two groups of construction workers as they remove old asphalt and replace it with new. The film was finished this year and these showings will be its public debut in Jackson.
