Roxie Theater

Director Cara Jones grapples with her parents' legacy and her time in the Unification Church in this intimate documentary.

A live virtual Q&A with Director Cara Jones will take place on July 29 at 6pm. More than a decade after leaving the Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church (the “Moonies”), filmmaker Cara Jones attempts to finally break free from the religious movement which dominated her childhood. Through a trove of never-before-seen footage from within the church and extraordinary home videos of her family’s upbringing alongside Reverend Moon and his disciples, BLESSED CHILD is one daughter’s attempt to unpack the legacy of the decisions her parents made while challenging assumptions – hers and ours – about cults and family.Directed by Cara Jones, 2019. USA, 74 mins.
