the journey to restored identity
WATCH THE TRAILER
Film Synopsis
A Spiritual City rich with a history of freeing slaves, elevating women, experiencing true revival and complete spiritual transformation, forgets who she is, and where she comes from. The City grows to face oppositions that challenge her moral core, leaving glaring symptoms like poverty, murder, and a failed education system contrasted with her wealth, intellect, and business acumen.
This is the true story of God’s heart and chosen identity for Rochester, New York and her journey back to her true self.
This Film will highlight the Spiritual History and Revival Fires that burned in our region, once known as the “Burned-Over District,” an area made up of the 6 counties of the Greater Rochester Metropolitan Area of the Genesee River Valley.
Our history will be contrasted with four major spiritual turning points in our culture that have conflicted with our true God-given identity while prescribing the path back to revival and transformation.

“If we know who we really are, and where we really come from, we will exert ourselves even more to surpass previous generations. That is why the study of our spiritual history, Revival & Awakening, our TRUE identity, remains of critical importance. Our history is not just the story of who we once were, but of our destiny; not merely what we have accomplished, but our future success.”
Leonard Jones
