this is one of the best docs i've ever seen. it's the true story of a guy named marjoe who starting preaching at age 4. he was a huge success and traveled coast to coast to give sermons at revivals. at age 14 he abandoned this work, then returned a couple years later, became very popular again for another couple years.he then invited a film crew to document how everything he's preaching (in the film) and has ever preached is total bullshit. he doesn't even believe in god and he's actually a total hippie.
there's lots of footage of revival meetings, people screaming and crying, being saved, speaking in tongues, etc. then there's marjoe counting his money afterwards and revealing his and other preachers tricks to bilking followers out of their cash.
funny thing is, he actually seems like a really nice, fun guy, despite what he's doing. he says in the film that he's making the movie to show people they don't need some fake prophet to 'get off,' that no miracles are actually taking place and that this should be taken as entertainment, not religion.
other motivating factors for the film (his effective exist from the circuit) are the way these saved individuals will change to become intolerant assholes towards those who don't share their religious beliefs, as well as all the 'you're going to hell if you don't do this or that' bs he feels he has to include in his sermones.
