A profound musical and spiritual statement going way beyond the hit song-interview fragment-hit song-interview fragment formula of so many pop videos. Directed by Steve Taylor, it continually manages to find images and locations that bring to life four magnificent songs. "Here In America", "The Color Green", "Hold Me Jesus" and "Creed". Filmed on location in Ireland, Columbia, New York City and the stark, empty landscapes of Kansas that have shaped and moulded Mullins' eloquent songwriting imagery. Oddly, there's a short item, a message about showing compassion to the poor and oppressed, AFTER the finishing credits. Even with this bonus I could have done with more of this haunting exploration of the thoughts and music of one of America's most insightful Christian commentators. One of the most moving and stimulating videos so far produced by the CCM industry.
