    JESUS RIDIN' SHOTGUN is about the eternal battle between good and evil, which in this case takes place on a subway train in Marseille, France, amongst a schizophrenic homeless man, a street preacher and a yo-yo salesman. But which is good and which is evil and at what price does one triumph over the other. Based on an actual occurrence on the NYC subway it goes from an urban reality tale to an apocalyptic fantasy.
