ABOUT THE FILM

LONG SYNOPSIS

An indie rock doc exploring the spiritual, artistic, and personal turmoil of musician David Bazan, set against America’s own crisis of faith highlighted by the 2016 presidential election.

After renouncing his long-held evangelical Christian beliefs and walking away from critically-acclaimed band Pedro the Lion, Bazan retreats into a solitary life of touring solo, struggling to rebuild his worldview and career from the ground-up, and trying to support his family of four. STRANGE NEGOTIATIONS finds David a decade into his journey, during which he has become a reluctant prophet of sorts to young Americans struggling to reconcile their faith, politics, and doubts amidst the 2016 elections.
