Marjoe - fake evangelist exposes self, religion as business - now on DVD!

[NAO]

The Second Coming of Marjoe!

The Academy Award winning documentary "Marjoe", about the child-evangelist turned freethinker, which was lost for over 30 years has been re-released on DVD. Marjoe goes on a “revival tour” with a documentary crew and exposes the antics and hucksterism of evangelicalism in an authentic sitz-am-leben. Hear Marjoe preach the Word! Hallelujah!!

This movie is AMAZING! If you want to see what goes in behind church doors - but don't want to actually go to church (who would?) - then get this movie. See REAL footage of church services; speaking in tounges; faith healing; people being asked to give their largest bill for a magick handkerchief...and then see the preachers counting the money and laughing behind the scenes! This is not actors or staged - it is a covertly produced documentary, filmed at real church services inside churches in America.

DVD tagline: "You keep the faith, Marjoe keeps the money!"

Amazon's Product Description:

Product Description
The Academy-Award®-winning MARJOE is the ferocious and extraordinary chronicle of a firebrand evangelical preacher who wholeheartedly and humorously exposes himself as a fraud. An evangelist prodigy at the age of four, the film captures an adult Marjoe as he recounts how he discovered the seductions of the 60s counterculture and dropped out of preaching, only to return later, using his swaggering bravado, to woo Pentecostal audiences out of their offerings. Directors Howard Smith and Sarah Kernochan follow Marjoe as he embarks on his "farewell to the faith tour," revealing the secrets of religious hucksterism. MARJOE is both a fiery baptism in the cynical waters of faith healing and evangelical fervor and a fascinating profile of a man who went from hellfire to hellraising.
