Presented by NCM Fathom and Different Drummer, this unique event will feature a LIVE introduction by lead singer Joel Houston, followed by a performance from Hillsong United LIVE from their home church in Sydney and conclude with the debut of their cause-based documentary "The I Heart Revolution: We're All In This Together." Filmed over two years, the documentary follows the band as they are confronted by the stories of remarkable individuals facing injustice and hardships around the globe. Hillsong United: We're All In This Together will inspire audiences in 440 movie theaters nationwide during this one night event to join the tens of thousands who are changing the world by putting their faith into action.
"It's a story made up of many stories, told by many voices, no individual voice any more or any less important than any other, yet every voice working together to ultimately tell the ONE story - a story that involves everyone; that captures our collective and idiosyncratic purpose in one. Part documentary, part apologetic, part call to action," said Joel Houston, Hillsong United member.
"The I Heart Revolution: We're All in This Together" documentary is the second of the three-part "The I Heart Revolution" project - a movement of people helping people. The first installment, launched last year as a CD+DVD; "With Hearts as One," captured the sound of Hillsong United's collective worship and their passion toward Christ. IHeart.org, an online community with the sole purpose of offline action of sharing ideas and inspiring users to be part of the solution by transforming local initiatives into a collaborative global impact, is the third and final part of the project.
Hillsong United began in Sydney, Australia as the youth movement in Hillsong Church. Over a decade later, the band travels globally with a message of justice to raise awareness about poverty, natural disaster relief, equality, human rights and health issues affecting the world. While firmly anchored in their local church, Hillsong United has had the privilege of taking the spirit, hunger and sound of their local youth ministry to a global audience through their albums, worship tours and Encounter conferences.
More than 200 young people are directly involved creatively as musicians, vocalists, production techs, artists and designers with Hillsong United, including worship leaders and songwriters Joel Houston, Reuben Morgan and Marty Sampson. Known for their passionate lyrics and mainstream rock style of praise and worship, Hillsong United has catapulted to top-selling status, earning Gospel Music Association's International Award in 2007and reaching No. 1 on the USA Billboard chart in the Christian category twice.
