Marjoe

You Keep the Faith...Marjoe Keeps the Money

A sharp-eyed documentary exposé of evangelical showmanship and religious commerce, following a charismatic former child preacher as he performs faith for profit.

Part documentary, part expose, this film follows one-time child evangelist Marjoe Gortner on the "church tent" Revivalist circuit, commenting on the showmanship of Evangelism and "the religion business", prior to the start of "televangelism". Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2005.
