Marjoe (1972)

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”. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068924/

Marjoe Gornter was three years old when he first started preaching regularly, mimicking his father and under strict instruction from his mother he performed across America for over ten years.

This short documentary exposes the Pentecostal “guest evangelist” racket and goes into detail of how Pentacostal church services and revival meetings work.
