The Looking Out/Looking In series features several important classical and contemporary films viewed through the lens of social-work theory and practice.Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (directed by Andrew Douglas, 2005) takes a captivating road trip through the creative and religious spirit of the South. The documentary travels to churches, prisons, biker bars and coal mines, revealing misfits, loners and a world of marginalized white people and their sometimes haunting culture. The film challenges notions of normality and allows us to enter the phenomenological world of the "outsider." In a discussion following the screening, Rafael C. Angulo will use the literature of Southern writer Flannery O' Connor to examine the characters and culture of the South and help us recognize redemption in the most unlikely people and places.
