Following the Satanic Temple’s announcement that the IRS now recognizes it as a church, Penny Lane’s Hail Satan? opens in theaters nationwide this month. “That recognition means the group can now get the same benefits as religious organizations —including tax exemption and protection from discrimination,” reports the Salt Lake Tribune.One of the less traditional political documentaries to come through the 2019 Festival, the film explores the Satanic Temple and its grassroots political activism, which fluctuates between the rational and the absurd in its efforts to uphold the division between church and state. Lane’s portrait takes their principles seriously and forces audience to challenge their ideas of what a “normal” or “reasonable” religion is. Watch a conversation with Director Penny Lane and Satanic Temple Co-Founder Lucien Greaves below, and find Hail Satan? showing at a theater near you!Film still courtesy of Hail Satan? -- source link
