Hunky Jesus explores the legacy of the San Francisco chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a global, secular order of queer and trans "nuns" who combat guilt, shame, and exclusion through joy, humor, activism, and irreverence, serving their communities while challenging bigotry and redefining spirituality.


The film is set against the backdrop of their wildly popular, annual Easter Sunday tradition, Hunky Jesus, hosted by the legendary drag and activist group the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Shot with a theatrical aesthetic, the documentary presents the Sisters as cultural rockstars—shattering stereotypes, embracing authenticity, and forging a spiritual community that welcomes the marginalized.


Featuring a dulcet voice-over by the legendary George Takei and a haunting rendition of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” performed by the incomparable John Cameron Mitchell, the film is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, joy, and the transformative power of self-acceptance.
