The Blood of Jesus

In a small rural village, a Baptist woman named Martha is accidentally shot by her husband Ras and sent to a crossroads between Heaven and Hell, where she's tempted by Satan's agent Judas Green. As she navigates this spiritual journey, an angel appears to guide her back to the path of righteousness, and with the help of Jesus Christ, Martha's health is restored and her marriage is redeemed. This 1941 film is a masterpiece of folk cinema that has scarcely lost its power to astonish, offering a brief anatomy of Southern Baptist folk theology in literal terms.
