Part documentary, part expose, Marjoe follows former child evangelist Marjoe Gortner as he tours the “church‑tent” revival circuit, revealing the theatrical tactics of evangelism and the profit‑driven side of the religion business before the rise of televangelism. The film, titled “You Keep the Faith…Marjoe Keeps the Money,” was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2005.
