'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' explores the rise, fall & redemption of a televangelist

The Eyes of Tammy Faye is an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker.

In the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity.

Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life.

However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.

The film stars Jessica Chastain as Tammy Faye and Andrew Garfield as husband Jim, alongside Cherry Jones, Fredric Lehne, Mark Wystrach, Sam Jaeger, Gabriel Olds and Vincent D’Onofrio.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye hits cinemas this September.
