Hail Satan? (2019)

A look into the rise of The Satanic Temple, from humble beginnings to widespread recognition. The organisation claims its use of Satan in practices and literature is merely symbolic, as a figurehead of antithesis representing a need for religious autonomy. The doc pokes fun from time to time, but leader Lucien Greaves is an educated individual that sometimes deserves to be heard, and the Seven Tenets that guide practitioners make a lot of sense.
If nothing else, Dir. Penny Lane's film exposes the level of hypocrisy and wilful social-blindness that exists in America, and shows how deeply ingrained notions of the Judeo-Christian God are in the political affairs of state, a "Nation Under God" pairing that flirts with theocracy.
