Huie's Sermon
Reverend Huie Rogers is a preacher at the Bible Way Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Brooklyn. He is the topic of this short film, during which launches into an epic call-and-response denunciation of human hubris, greed, corruption and failure. The use of lengthy shots present it less like a sermon and more a performance, and induce an almost trance-like state.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a potent statement by relying entirely on the raw force of presence and rhythm. It explores how speech, gesture, and crowd energy can generate an almost tangible field of tension and release.
What lingers after viewing is the sensation of witnessing a primal force of nature, where the sermon's message is secondary to its overwhelming, hypnotic delivery. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Werner Herzog

In darkness, at high volume, to feel the vibration of every word.
