This VERY amazing film is one pip to a) sell more coffee and b) covert. Oops, I mean I'm sorry, as the coffeehouses proprietors shown here say they're not looking to convert people, that I believe. What's curious is that this film shows no effort to show that no other coffeehouses exist except christian themed ones. I mean, RIGHT. Interesting that noone was smoking and that nearly everyone was white as well. But nevertheless, this is a fine film with great great music, and a great 60's feel to it.
