The movie wasn't about the hillsong team who built the name, by hard work no doubt but instead , it was about the next generation of musicians who started out as a youth band, and was basically handed to them the stage in support of the main ministry which the movie doesn't even talk about.. other than this complaint , it was truly amazing that a documentary movie about a church could be played nation wide in theaters ,

As to those who feel uncomfortable or out of place in a traditional church setting, a concert film like “Let Hope Rise” could be the gateway through which lost souls find their way to Christ.

Comment from recent article by Andy Stanley... "We don’t have time for the petty disagreements that only those inside our social media circles understand or care about. We’re losing ground. The most counterproductive thing we can do is criticize and refuse to learn from one another. So come on. If you believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, that’s all I need to know. And in light of what’s at stake, in light of who is at stake, perhaps that’s all you need to know as well."

I suspect that delays in the release were caused by trying to work out details of what the movie included about various musicians/singers. Some of the early Hillsong members became famous or don't tour with the current groups. It has to be a legal nightmare.
