Rock My Religion blends the strategies of video art and documentary filmmaking to explore the cultural and historical ties between rock music and Christian religion in the United States. In the nearly hour-long work, Dan Graham suggests that teenage rebellion against post-war suburban conformity—for which rock music provided numerous anthems—are a modern transformation of the anti-industrial ethos of the Shakers, a separatist Christian sect that began in England in the late eighteenth century and took root in the United States. He also draws parallels between the ecstatic trances of religious-revival worship and the fervor of concert crowds, who worship the stars on stage. Graham visually and sonically interweaves past and present, collaging together footage from rock concerts, historical texts, poetry and music, and archival imagery to illustrate the resistance to capitalistic exploitation and alienation that has characterised both religious movements and rock music.
