How many here have seen the 1972 documentary Marjoe?

Just watched this tonight and was absolutely blown away by it, so thought I’d start a discussion thread. Without giving too much away, it follows a Pentecostal evangelist who was forced by his parents to begin preaching when he was just 4 years old, which he admits was basically just a grift, but he goes on preaching into his 30s anyways because it’s the only way he knows how to make money. I can see how people might take issue with his hustle, but I honestly found myself really relating to him on a lot of levels and appreciate that he made the documentary to expose the hoax. Super charismatic and interesting guy, and a very well made documentary.
