This Oscar®-winning 1972 documentary, directed by Howard Smith and Sarah Kernochan, does more than expose an evangelical fraud. It is a story of celebrity, faith and showmanship. It follows the story of Marjoe Gortner. Marjoe became an ordained minister at the age of 4 and preached to a large flock of believers, even though Marjoe didn't believe himself. The film follows his self-exposure as a fraud in the early '70s to bring attention to himself and reveals his profound effect on the faith of his followers. Ist Tuesday Social Action Film Festival, presented by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff Social Action Committee in cooperation with the Dallas Peace Center. Films are free, but a donation is suggested to defray costs. | ||

Review supplied by Amazon.com: "More a set of loosely connected essays than a single, precise argument, Our Endangered Values outlines Carter's worldview while pondering what he posits are key problems looming in the 21st century. Thematic touchstones such as the war, environmental negligence, civil liberties, the rich-poor divide, and the separation of church and state form the book's backbone, with Carter filtering each through the prism of his own vast experience."
