The Proper Care u0026 Feeding of an American Messiah is the mockumentary story of a man who thinks he is a messiah. Not *the* messiah, but rather a local, regionally selected messiah for his own home-town. Hes on a quest, desperately trying to raise money for a town-wide rally where he hopes to announce his deity - and to determine his true, god-given special purpose in life - which may or may not have something to do with ailments of the lower gastrointestinal tract, but he wont be sure until he hears more or less directly from Yahweh.
