Acting
Many people who have attended a Rich Mullins concert can tell you that the most impactful parts are his "stories" that he tells between his songs. This collection of 12 of those stories was recorded in February of 1993, and released on the "Here in America" Bonus DVD.
The people who knew Rich Mullins best relate their sense of loss tempered by the glory of their hope as they discuss his life and ministry. Includes previously unseen footage of Mullins.
A documentary film about Christian singer/songwriter Rich Mullins, including found footage and interviews with people who knew him best.
The "Pursuit of a Legacy" video was released soon after the album, A Liturgy, A Legacy, and A Ragamuffin Band, and contains five selections from the album. The spoken monologues between the music videos are typical of the "Rich-isms" he often tells at concerts and are all presented in informal settings as Rich simply chats and speaks his mind while the film rolls.
Rich Mullins had ascended to one of the most respected planes in the Christian world before his death in a 1997 Illinois car accident. Mullins's music owes much to '70s pop, equal parts Cat Stevens, Billy Joel, Todd Rundgren, Bruce Springsteen and Kenny Loggins, accentuated by lyrics both intricate and startlingly simple, sometimes incisive and often possessed of a rapier wit often absent in the genre.It is particularly in the live tracks where one is treated to a truly engaging personality. Mullins's wide-eyed passion is both simple and earnest and glows endearingly through his intelligent songs. HERE IN AMERICA offers a nice introduction to the late Christian singer.
On March 14, 1997, Rich Mullins & A Ragamuffin Band played a live television concert at LeSEA Broadcasting (currently Family Broadcasting Corporation) in South Bend, Indiana. This Concert Footage comes from the "Here in America" Bonus DVD.
