Hail Satan?

Watch Trailer Watch at Home
“THREE STARS! Penny Lane might be documentary film’s most compellingly cockamamie social historian…. In this lively, equal parts funny and discomfiting film, she follows a group of self-identified Satan-worshipers to interrogate their beliefs and practices. Consistent with her oeuvre, what she finds is surprising and much deeper and more important than the surface of goth makeup, unsettling rituals and weird symbolism initially suggests. – Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

Live virtual Q&A on Wed, 6/10 at 8pm with director Penny Lane in conversation with Lucien Greaves, head of The Satanic Temple.
Questions will be accepted in advance at: submityourquestion@magpictures.com
and on Twitter with the hashtag #magnoliadocseries. The Q&A is accessible from the film’s purchase page and no RSVP is required.

One week only! When media-savvy members of the Satanic Temple organize a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humor, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways. As charming and funny as it is thought-provoking, HAIL SATAN? offers a timely look at a group of often misunderstood outsiders whose unwavering commitment to social and political justice has empowered thousands of people around the world.

This presentation is part of the series MAGNOLIA PICTURES: A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE DOCS. 10% of every ticket sale will be distributed to a charity of the filmmaker’s choice.
