Chonda Pierce is a Christian comedian who is probably unknown to the average viewer. However, her story in this documentary offers a lot to viewers...in particular, how to deal with pain and heartbreaks that come to all of us. During the last few years, Pierce has experienced more than her share of misery, with an estranged relationship with her daughter and a husband who died because he essentially drank himself to death. This sort of stuff is NOT supposed to happen to 'nice Christian ladies' like Chonda...and her openness about this and how she's learned to cope is inspirational.
The film is essentially clips of Chonda doing her stand-up routine along with interviews with Chonda's friends and, mostly, Chonda talking to the camera...discussing how her problems and her need for therapy are NOT things the average church-goer talks about...as if they all lead charmed lives. But Chonda's problems and attitude seem very real...and is quite inspirational. Funny? Only occasionally. Depressing, at times...so keep some Kleenex handy!
