Don Verdean

Sam Rockwell, Amy Ryan, Jemaine Clement and Danny McBride star in a comedy about archaeology, faith and fabrication. From filmmaker Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Gentlemen Broncos).

"Don Verdean (Rockwell) is a man of faith who has devoted his life to biblical archaeology, scouring the globe in search of artifacts that back up the teachings of Jesus Christ. Now, traveling from town to town, he and his devoted assistant, Carol (Ryan), spread the gospel by peddling books and DVDs out of his shabby RV, while his Holy Land contacts (including Clement) do the digging from afar.

"When evangelical preacher Tony Lazarus (McBride) offers to bankroll Don’s modest roadside operation, the escalating pressure to find increasingly significant relics leads Don and his team down a less-than-righteous path. With more than just the word of God on the line, Don finds himself in the midst of a spiteful feud between two opposing congregations, leaving him to question what is truly important in life."
