“Let’s Have Some Church Detroit Style” is a toe-tapping and enthusiastic film, featuring some of the world’s best gospel music. The documentary takes the viewer behind the scenes and introduces several of the Hallelujah Choir’s members including its director, Dr. E. Laquint Weaver ll.
The film makes it clear: They have all endured tests and trials, but they’ve always given God their best when rehearsing or in front of an audience. Rev. Robert Jones, Sr. talks about the poor man’s promised land and says people are curious about Detroit these days and just what the city looks like. One scene in the film takes place in Comerica Park, the home of the Detroit Tigers. The film features some remarkable singing and music, along with the choir looking ahead to an awards show in Birmingham and several possible awards. Robert Jones, Jr. speaks of a spiritual awakening and of African cultures and music.
The film features several people who have come through difficult times, and as a choir member named Donna says, “Don’t give up. It’s only a test.” The film concludes with the group performing and praising God in Birmingham. We won’t give the ending away regarding whether or not the group wins any awards, but the people obviously love them. We are happy to award this energetic film our “Faith-Friendly” 12+ Seal. These singers will show you how to have church, Detroit style!
