Set to the strains of Handel’s famous oratorio, Klein’s latest film presents a global view of humanity at the end of the millennium as it documents various performances of the ubiquitous choral piece. From the grotesque to the sublime, from the mundane to the tragic, Klein’s cast includes Texas prison inmates, a gay choir in Times Square, women boxers at the Taj Mahal, a drug rehab choir in Harlem, thousands of sobbing Promise Keepers in Detroit’s Superdome, several hundred wealthy arts patrons attired for Houston’s annual Hair Ball, and the Ministers of Muscle preaching the gospel across America.
