The documentary shows the history of the band Hillsong United, since 1983, when they were a youth group from the church in Australia.
His ministry is now one of the most influential in the realm of Christian music. They are known all over the world, their songs have been translated into 60 languages and more than 17 million records have been sold. His songs are believed to be sung every Sunday by more than 50 million people around the world.
Independent distributor Pure Flix is publicizing the film, directed by Michael John Warren. The company has negotiated directly with Hillsong after Warner canceled the project.
For the production director and one of the founders of Pure Flix, the delay will not compromise the film, which for him is “truly a worship experience.”

Hillsong founder and pastor Brian Houston believes the film could serve to “shatter preconceived notions about what it means to follow Jesus in today’s modern world.”
With the official release confirmed for September 2016, the footage filmed for the documentary shows the lives and ministries of the 11 members of Hillsong United, including founders, Brian and Bobbie Houston.
