An intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall, and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. In the 1970s and ’80s, Tammy Faye and her husband Jim Bakker rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, while being revered for their message of love, acceptance, and prosperity. Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life; however, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Tammy Faye Bakker and her husband Jim Bakker gained widespread recognition as the most prominent and financially-successful televangelist couple in America. After all, they established a lucrative multi-million-dollar Christian entertainment empire known as the Praise The Lord Club through unwavering determination, a well-defined strategy, love, and charismatic appeal. However, the couple’s involvement in scandalous activities led to a series of shocking revelations, placing their television ministry career and the future of similar enterprises in jeopardy.
