Marjoe

Oscar-winning documentary on Marjoe Gortner, an ordained minister at the age of 4, who became a hugely popular child evangelist in the U.S. Bible Belt of the 1950s and '60s. As an adult involved in film acting and speaking to groups about his childhood, Gortner, now an admitted non-believer, tells how he used his charisma and trickery to turn attendees into followers and willing "contributors" to his crusades; co-directed by Howard Smith and Sarah Kernochan. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
