Ella Anderson & Juliette Lewis To Star In Adaptation Of Julia Scheeres Memoir ‘Jesus Land’
Juliette Lewis & Ella Anderson are set to star in 'Jesus Land,' an adaptation of the New York Times bestselling memoir by Julia Scheeres.
The drama tells the true story of Julia and her adopted Black brother David, who struggle to navigate their tumultuous childhood in a harsh Christian Fundamentalist home amid the bigotry of ’80s rural Indiana. When the teens rebel against their abusive parents Ruth and Hank, they are sent to a reform school in the Dominican Republic called Escuela Caribe, where they are imprisoned in a compassionless world that preaches blind obedience over meaningful religious content. The cast also includes Xavier Jones, Bryce Johnson, Nikki Roumel, Kristian Bruun, Kelly Sullivan, Jared Scott, Geogia Waehler, Sarah Brine, Jackson Coppins, Jimmy Ace Lewis, Mark Valeriano, and Emma Naumovska.
