Casting Crowns: Home by Sunday

Much like many biopics of contemporary artists, this documentary is about Casting Crowns, the popular Christian music band started by youth from a church congregation in Georgia. Band members tell the history of the Creation of the band while transmitting their views on God. Through editing combining interviews along with performances, including behind-the-stage reportage, we find out the meaning behind their music, which is the guiding idea of the whole documentary.

Positive Aspects:

The storyline is motivating and can appeal with the wider audience.

The concert recordings and statements made in the interviews are powerful.

For the audience which has watched similar faith-oriented ones, it may appear to be unoriginal as well.
