A devilishly provocative, hilarious and thought-provoking preview of forthcoming documentary Hail Satan?
Explore the rise of the The Satanic Temple, its co-founder Lucien Greaves and his colourful flock as they champion religious freedom and social equality and challenge the corrupt establishment, all with a heavy dose of humour and irony.
From the erection of a Baphomet statue on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol in response to their campaign to erect a Ten Commandments monument; campaigning for the Satanic Prayer to be included in schools if Christian prayer is sanctioned; and counter-protests to anti-abortionists while dressed as giant babies, the Temple uses a variety of the wickedly irreverent ways to protest for religious and social tolerance. There's more to The Satantic Temple than goats and black candles (although there are plenty): they are champions of equality and social justice for all Americans.
As absurd and funny as it is probing and inquisitive, HAIL SATAN? offers a timely look at a group of rebels and outsiders holding the establishment to task and advocating for a more inclusive society.
