The film captures both of Church’s sold-out nights at The Pinnacle in Nashville, recorded during his Free The Machine Tour. It wasn’t a typical Church setup, either – he expanded his already powerful live band with horns, strings, a choir, and longtime collaborator Joanna Cotten, reimagining favorites like “Springsteen,” “Sinners Like Me,” and “Give Me Back My Hometown” on a grand, cinematic scale.
