Hunky Jesus explores the legacy of the San Francisco chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence: a global, secular order of queer and trans "nuns" who combat guilt, shame, and exclusion through joy, humor, activism, and irreverence.
The Sisters’ annual Easter celebration called "Hunky Jesus", is as subversive, controversial and fun as it sounds.
This glorious, blazing documentary opened BFI Flare 2026 and is SCENE's closing documentary.
It perfectly encapsulating the sense of joy, community, subversion and protest the festival hopes everyone will take into Manchester Pride weekend.
Starring Sister Roma and Honey Mahogany.
A note from our website mistress:
Our website is currently having a much deserved clean out. You should see what we've found so far - a herd of donkeys in Sister Donna Matrix's cell. And what Sister Mona was doing with that many hamsters is quite beyond any of us. This place is turning into a veritable zoo...
Anyway, we'll be back with a full offering on this website soon.
